Re: Urgent!! need Help with personal Oracle 8 and developer 2000 2.0

Probably would have saved yourself a lot of time by looking in www.dejanews.com first...

I guess the documentation with po8 really stinks because I've seen a lot of people asking this same question over and over again...

Since you asked and I have 2 cents, here goes..

1. try database (instead of blank) 2: or tcp-loopback or tcp-loopback.world
2. If you didn't install listener 2.3.4 but instead listener net8, you'll have to change that.

d2k doesn't work w/net8.

3. Spend a day RTFM. Even if the above ideas work, this is a good exercise for oracle-ites.
