1) The correct syntax would be

sqlplus user/pass@tnsname


2) But you can't connect to a 7.3.1 Database with a 10g client anyway.

You can't connect a version 7 database with a 10g client.

Mr. Sumon,

To connect to your remote database you need to edit the tnsnames.ora file to define an SID named desa for example. Then connect by using:
username/password@desa

Add the following listing in your tnsnames.ora file:

DESA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.21)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = yourdatabase_name)
    )
  )



tnsnames.ora file is located in:
D:\OracleHome\....\network\admin\
or
D:\OracleHome\....\net80\admin\
folder.

You should use Developer-2000(2.2) or Deveoper-6i to connect to your current remote database version.

This has been said and repeated all along the topic, don't mislead OP once more.

Don't you have other products to buy? Maybe he could buy Sybase or DB2 and connect through heterogeneous services?

Dear Michel,

Yes, he should upgrade his both backend and frontend to current versions. However, somedays I had to use Oracle 7+ with Developer 2000 (version 2.2). There should not be question for misleading anybody, because it is an effort to help someone with possible solutions, it is a suggestion to try with various versions if he has not any other means to upgrade his database.

Another thing I understand that Developer 2000 (2.2) is not compatible with Windows-XP. Hence, my suggestion for using Developer 2000 was also a wrong one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

But, if there is no other way, one can try with multiple versions untill he succeeds.

Best Regards-
