When I configure an 8i client to attach to an Oracle database, I always have the The service name which has always been the database/instance name -- I assume these don't necessarily have to be the same, but it appears to be that way for single database applications.
I also have the host name which has always been the NetBIOS name of the hosting W2K server. So here is the question, is that all I need to configure the client if I know I'm going to connect using TCP for a 9i client? v/r Stephen S.
