Hello friends, I have this peculiar problem. I have installed Oracle 10g Express edition on my Win 2008 Entp Edition OS (64 bit). But I am not able to connect the database using Visual Studio 2010 and thru Sql Plus also. I can connect the database and browse thru records using the database Home page in the browser. I can also connect to this database via another computer having oracle 9.2 client but this node wont connect to its own database or any other database on other nodes.

I have gone thru most of the solutions in various forums but of no help. Please let me know what can be done in this case.


Regards,

Denzil.

We don't know what you actually did & we don't know how Oracle responded.

use COPY & PASTE, please

You have to set ORACLE_SID environment variable.

Many varied causes exist for error above on Windows

Is the OS Service for the listener started & running?

open a Command Window & issue OS commands below

lsnrctl status
lsnrctl service

COPY the results from above then PASTE all back here
