That is also my favored option - though my team perfers to use the
forrest of parentheses connect strings instead of a TNS_Names
file. The fact that you can connect from within SQLPlus makes it seem
like just a path or syntax issue - but it seems somewhat familiar -
like I have had my machine behave that way. What Mac OS and instant
client versions are you using?
