[jdjlist] Re: Trying to Connect to Oracle

[David Gallardo]

No, if you are using the OCI driver it uses tnsnames.ora. (This means, for example, if you have only 1 database, you can use "@" alone, no need to specify "sid@hostname", 'cause the driver can figure it out from tnsnames.) But in this case, he's using the thin driver & you're right, it doesn't have access to tnsnames.

I believe that tnsnames.ora would only be used if connecting to the
database via sqlplus
