Re: Installing Oracle 8.0.4 on NT

Hi, Carles,

 The ways of connecting to MSSQL server and Oracle database are different. On SQL server, you specify a server name when making client application connecting to your server via the DB-library. On Oracle, you have to use "SQL*Net easy configure" or "Net8 easy config" to set up database aliases for your client applications. For example, the name of your Oracle instance is ORCL. You could create a database alias called ORCL, or TEST, or PROD or any other name.

 Hope this helps.
