Hello all,
I am trying to test an ODBC connection to an Oracle dbf using the ODBC Data
Source Administrator. It's not working and I suspect I haven't configured
Oracle correctly. Below is the error message I am getting:
[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Driver]Invalid attribute in connection string:
Description.[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle]ORA-12514: TNS:listener
could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
I am very new to Oracle and I don't know where to go to fix this. Any
help?
Thanks,
Jake

You need to start by telling us what your connection string is! It would
also help to see the output of "lsnrctl status" on the Oracle server.

Hi Chris,
CONNECTIONSTRIN G = "Driver={Micros oft ODBC for
Oracle};Server= db.world;Uid=sa ;Pwd=;"
I can't find "lsnrctl status" on my server. This is 9i, does that count?
Thanks for your time,
Jake

What you have to do here is open TNSNAMES.ORA, which is located in your
OracleHome directory (C:\ORA_MGMT\ne twork\admin\TNS NAMES.ORA for instance),
and see what the Service_Name is for db.world. Like this:
db.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = SomeName)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
)
)
In the above case, SomeName is the Service_Name for db.world (called SID
above). So your string would have Server=SomeName ; instead of what you
have above.
I can't find "lsnrctl status" on my server. This is 9i, does that
count?
That's a command line operation to find out the status of the listener.
I'm afraid I'm too much of a newbie to say more than that without looking
it up, myself... I'm trying to look it up now but OTN just isn't
responding.

This is a question that has haunted me for quite some time.
if you build a 4 tier database application where the 4th tier is the
database server (MS SQL 2000), where do you build the connection string?
The obvious answer is to hard code it into the middle layer and use a config
file.
The problem is the database application needs to be distributed to
purchasing clients. Therefore, you do not know, at development, what the SQL

Hello All,
After reading in this group about the preference for connecting to a SQL
Server using a connection string instead of a DSN file, I have done just
that.
BUT, I cannot update my data. I have gone back and forth between using a DSN
file and a DSN-less connection string and I have found the following issue.
When I utilize the DSN file to create the link, there is a step where it
asks me to identify a unique key for the file. If I...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
