<div><br></div><div>There 2 scenario here </div><div><br></div><div>1) you are on a remote machine form where your trying to connect oracle server machine:</div><div><br></div><div>a) Have you installed any Oracle Client in your system. Considering that you are using the complete oracle client installation you can use the following : </div>
<div>OCI:scott/tiger@<Tnsname entry for eg. ORCL></div><div><br></div><div>b) if you are trying out with Instant client for 11g you should try either of the following</div><div><br></div><div>OCI:scott/tiger@//localhost/<your ORACLE SERVICE IDENTIFIER for eg ORCL>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) you are on the oracle server machine where </div><div><br></div><div>you must set the oracle SID. like the following </div><div>on windows </div><div>SET ORACLE_SID=ORCL</div><div>or</div><div>on *nix</div>
<div>export ORACLE_SID=ORCL</div><div><br></div><div>then try your implementation or use methods stated in 1) </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Rgds.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>
