Re^3: Database connection over a network without having a local TNS entry

So what's the (exact) error message?

What about the obivous questions of correct user/password values and firewall issues?

The error message is `C:\Neshat\Perl-Scripts>perl dbconn.pl DBI connect('database=FO;host=neshat.com;port=1521','abcd',...) failed +: Can't connect using this syntax without specifying a HOST and a SID at dbconn.pl line 9` [download] I am able to connect using the same parameters using jdbc. So I don't think that there should be any firewall issue. But still I am not very sure.	[reply] [d/l]
