Hi all,
This should be easy, but it has me pulling my hair out.
I have a SQL 7 server running on NT server 4 with all the patches and
updates for both. I cannot seem to get the openrowset to run against
an oracle server, try as I might to install the drivers from oracle.
The first error I got said to install the drivers, so I did; now it
says 'msdaora' bla bla TNS: could not resolve service name. I have
tried the sql statement on another server and it works there. Does it
have anything to do with the different 'Homes' that oracle wants to
install it's drivers into? I have installed and uninstalled the
drivers, different versions, different configurations at least 300
times. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.

Check out these KB articles (the second is linked from the first): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=280106 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=259959
It sounds as if the Oracle client configuration is the problem - if you
can't connect with SQL Plus or some other Oracle client tool from the MSSQL
server, then you might get better answers in an Oracle group.

Turns out I needed an entry in one of the several tnsnames.ora file. Turns out I needed an entry in one of the several tnsnames.ora file.
Several? Sounds like you need to clean up the install! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
