Hi all

I have no experiences with Oracle Database but I have to retrieve data from one :)

I have connection pameters, and odbc driver installed on the PC where the connection seems to work, by using the windows form I mean.

I'm trying to connect to the database by SQLSTRINGCONNECT trying to get a valid Handle but I can't

here is what I have :


Host: hostip
Port: 1521
Service_Name: servicename.loc

User: username
Pwd: mypassword

anybody knows how the connection string should look ?

actually i send this one

Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Port=1521;Server=hostip;Service_name=servicename.loc;Uid=username;Pwd=mypassword

but i get the error : 1526 : connectivity error ..connectattr failed


PLEASE HELP :)

Thank you
