RE: ORA-12514 TNS names could not resolve service name

So you want to connect without the @string.... system/password as opposed to system/password_at_orcl?

Hi All,

NT 4/Oracle 8.1.6

I can do a tnsping satt. The entry is in tnsnames.ora. When I try to connect using sqlplus
I get ora-12514. This is a new installation. Everything is loaded on the same computer. It connects
fine without service name but for other reasons I want to connect using service name.
Any ideas?

Thanks
