Re: Interfacing with Oracle 8i

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Try opening a command prompt and typing "tnsping {yourTNSname}" (without the
braces)

That should tell you if your machine is set up correctly and will also show
you which parameter files are being used. Check your files have the
required entry.
