Hi,
Try to log in with supplied username and password. Trap any errors and scan
them for ORA-01017 (Invalid username/password), or ORA-01034 (Oracle not
available) etc.. If no ORA errors detected, then username/password are good
and that the database is accessible.
I am not aware of any other method to do this..
