Hi,

Recently i have installed oracle 10g.2 in my laptop under Win-7 64bit. But cannot
connect oracle from Windows form [C#], Office application[Excel] and odbc. Showing error
[Tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified Drivers SQLSetconnectAttr failed ]

Though I can connect oracle from toad and sqlplus and form 6i.

Please help me out.

You are pointing on a tnsnames.ora that does not contain the entry you mentioned in your connect chain.

Hi ,
Thanks for reply . I checked the tnsnames.ora

orcl=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 'hostname')(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = orcl)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
)
)

And your connection chain?
And are you sure this is the one you use?

ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 NEVER involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can NOT be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.

>user/psw@tnsentry is working well from command .
Above indicates that listener & database are OK

>But odbc or dot net cant connect still . os win 7 64
indicates client side misconfiguration.
root cause & fix are external to Oracle.

So definitively a .Net problem.
Had you a look to the link I pointed you to?

What is your exact client and server version?

There is a bug that ODBC connections don't work when the executable that used the ODBC connection is in a directory with a bracket that was fixed in 10.2.0.5 (Bug 3807408), both the Client and the server have to have at least that version.
