Right password -> ORA-12154: TNS:Could not resolve service name

[John]

Hi

Right password -> ORA-12154: TNS:Could not resolve service name

wrong password => ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Tested on a Windows XP client connecting to Oracle on an AIX server.
Using toad and sqlplusw

Everything working fin connecting to other 8.1.7 Oracle servers on windows
serveres.

If i delete tnsnames.ora i always receives ORA-12154 :-)

If you get ora 01017 then everything should be in perfectorder, except the
password... Right ?

Refer to 2) in my previous post.

Test your connection from sqlplus. If it works then check your connect
string/Connection object on ADO side, if not then run netca and check
your Net8/9 settings or connect url.

ADOCnn.Open "Provider=OraOL EDB.Oracle;" & _ "Data Source=db_locat ion;" & _ "User Id=*****;" & _ "Password=***** "

In 9i it's service_name, not SID.

Go to %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/sqlnet.ora

and comment NAMES.DEFAULT_D OMAIN

Also look at your tnsnames.ora for your service.

hi...

I've understand, that I have to add an Codeline like

ADOCnn.Open "Provider=OraOL EDB.Oracle;" & _

"Data Source=db_locat ion;" & _

"service_name"= ServerString from tnsnames.ora;"& _

"User Id=*****;" & _

"Password=***** "

Did I understand you correctly?

I meant that you "can return" to SID's by commenting domain part of
Service_name.

So, service_name in this case is equal to SID.
