Folks, I could use a tip or lead with the following issue:
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with Oracle Instant Client 11.2, with the SQL*Plus and ODBC modules installed. No other Oracle software is installed. I am connecting to an Oracle 10g instance. The following SQL*Plus works: sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.15.200)(PORT=1535)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PROD77))). The perl script that contains the following does not: use DBI; # Oracle / Remedy info my $oracle_sid = "PROD77"; my $oracle_host = "10.128 192.15.200:1535"; my $oracle_userid = "user"; my $oracle_passwd = "passwd"; ################ my $dsn = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient_11_2};server=$oracle_host;sid=$oracle_sid"; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn", "$oracle_userid", "$oracle_passwd"); It returns (after a few seconds) with an ORA-12154 error: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified ( SQL-08004). Thanks for any help... Scott...
