Hi,

I am trying to connect from oracle to sqlserver using oracle oledb but when i try to execute the follwing command from sqlplus i am getting error:

SQL> select * from "dbo"."EMPLOYEES"@MSOLEDB; select * from "dbo"."EMPLOYEES"@MSOLEDB

                                *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

the tnsnames.ora entry looks like this:

MSOLEDB =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ora2000)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = GCORA2000)

    )
(HS=OK)

  )

sql server name is ora2000.

what i have to change.

Thanks
Harvinder
