Const CONN_STRING = "driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};DSN=oraconn; UID=secdes1;PWD=secdes1"

  • This connection string does work: Const CONN_STRING = "driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};DSN=oraconn; UID=system;PWD=manager"

NOTE: system/manager lets us see the oracle system tables. secdes1 was setup as an administrator user for our actual tables.
