I was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of connection string
format to use to talk to an Oracle 10g database without a DSN.

I tried this format:


SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MyHost)(PORT=MyPort))


(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MyOracleSID)));uid=myUsername;pwd=myPassword
;

Ifwww.connectionstrings.comcan't supply the answer, then neither can
I.

That's where I got the original string, which didn't work.

Well, you made me look, and the string you posted above does not look
like any of the strings posted on the site.
Having said that, I don't use Oracle, so this is the limit of my
helpfulness.
