Hi

I have just started using Oracle 8 (the SQL*Plus program) at university for my DBMS course and have now installed it at home. When prompted for my username, password and host string i have been entering the same details as i do at uni... is this the correct thing to do???

If i am doing the right thing with regards to logging on then can anyone tell me why i get an error message which says.....

ERROR:
ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination

I get this same error message everytime i try and log in.... is thi something to do with the server at uni or have i installed the program incorrectly???

If any of you have any ideas please let me know!
