 Connection to Oracle fails.
 Dialog: "Create a New OGR Database connection"
 I entered Host, Database, Port, Username and Password

 Then "Test connection" replies:

 ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified in
 <unnamed>

 And after hitting the OK button:

 Invalid Data Source
 OCI:Username/Password at Host/Database is not a valid or recognized data
 source

 Even when I leave Host empty, I get an error because the slash is still in
 front of Database.
 What are the steps to make the Oracle connection work?
