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
