Re: Connecting Developer 2000 to PO8

First of all Dev 2000 does NOT use net8. Rather, it uses sqlnet. In order to connect locally to PO8, you will need to start the listerner. You can modify the
registry entry for oracle - Listener_start= AUTO. This will automatically start the listener
when the database starts.

Make sure that you use sql*net easy config to create a new service. The default SID is orcl.
When you logging in, you will need to specify username, password & database(orcl)

Good luck

Let me know how it goes.
