Re: Problem connecting to Oracle database using ASP

Thanks for the reply. The following is my TNSNAMES.ORA file, I tried all and none got connection. I am trying to use ORAOLEDB.ORACLE provider.

# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: E:\oracle\ora92\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ORACLE.UNIVERSE.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <b>sun3</b>)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = Oracle.Universe)

    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.UNIVERSE.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )

INST1_HTTP.UNIVERSE.COM =

    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = SHARED)
(SERVICE_NAME = MODOSE)
(PRESENTATION = http://HRService)
    )
  )
