Re: default connect string for oracle eval. ver. 80.x

Hi ,

I am using "win98" platform to connect to oracle DB in a standalone machine. i have tried to connect using sqlplus with the default user/password and the host string is "oracle". But still i am receiving similar error as the following

(in case sqlplus 8.x)
Enter user-name: system/manager_at_oracle
ERROR:
ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination

(in case sqlplus 3.x)
Enter user-name: system/manager_at_oracle
ERROR: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

please help me know what should i do ?

thanks
