[Qgis-user] Not able to connect to Oracle via ODBC

[Tudorache, Marian]

Hello,

What I am trying to do: Add a vector layer from an remote Oracle database.

Description:
I tried to add a vector layer using ODBC connectivity to an Oracle database on QGIS 2.8.2.
Add vector Layer
Choose Database
Type ODBC
Click New
I filled the form as:
Type ODBC
Name: myODBCConnection
Host: ssfdata
Database: CAAR
Port: 1521
Username: USER
Password: PASS

When I clicked Test Connection I got:
Connection failed - Check settings and try again

Extended error information:
Unable to initialize ODBC connection to DSN for USER/PASS at CAAR,
[unixODBC][Driver Manager] Datasource name not found, and no default driver specified

I opened a terminal window and I typed:
Isql -v caarODBC
I was able to connect to my database
+------------------------+
| Connected            |
|                              |
| sql -statement     |
| help [tablename] |
| quit                       |
+------------------------+
SQL>

So the unixODBC driver works for the database but QGIS is not able to access via ODBC.

Is any special settings related qgis to make ODBC working?

Thanks,
marian
