Connect to Oracle DB problem


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect to an Oracle database at work. I have rights, I have TOAD but I want to automate some stuff.

In the TOAD login windows, it says it is connecting using OraClient10g_home1 and this is a screenshot of the Oracle Homes when I click the 3 dots next to OraClient10g_home1:

I can find all kinds of strings in the file tnsnames.ora, but so far none work. Anyone any ideas? I tried mLipok's _ADO_GetProvidersList, but there is no local installed Oracle client. The G drive is a network drive.

Tried variants of "DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient10g_home1};Server=name;uid=login;pwd=pass;" and

"SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=123.123.123.123)(PORT=1234))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=xxxx)));uid=login;pwd=pass;"

But so far.. nothing. Does anyone have a clue how I can use the TOAD settings and make them work for AutoIt?

 

I suppose I can try automating TOAD itself, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

Thanks, already used those. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction by telling me which settings from TOAD I should use. Trial and error didn't work so far.
