Hi,
I am not able to connect to a database through Toad or SQL Plus which I am able to connect through "Toad for Oracle".
Actually the problem is that I do not know how to do that using the other two when I have an IP address and port number.

I need to connect to Sql Plus to work on something but not able to do that. Please look into this.

While connecting to "Toad for Oracle", I am entering under
1). user/schema -- dbone
2). Password -- dbone

Under Direct Tab I am entrying :
Host -- 170.13.254.91
Port -- 1521

Service Name :
etgdev

And it connects to Toad for Oracle
It connects as dbone@170.13.254.91:1521/etgdev

I tried connecting to sql plus in different ways like :
username : dbone@170.13.254.91:1521/etgdev
password : dbone

and other combinations too...
but it didn't worked.

Please advice as how to connect to sql plus when I am able to connect through "toad for oracle".

Thanks for looking into this,

Mahi

Where the value entered are as :
Username/schema : dbdone

password : dbdone
Host String: etgdev

2).
username : dbdone@170.13.254.91:1521

But I am not able to connect. Please help me on this as I do not know how to login in sql * when I have IP Address.

Thanks for looking into this,

Neither
dbdone/dbdone@170.13.254.91:1521:etgdev
nor
dbdone@170.13.254.91:1521
Is valid syntax in SQL*PLus 9i

I used didn't let me to connect the database.
Run "netca" network configurtion assistant and create TNS_ENTRY then try to connect with the following syntax:

USERNAME/PASSWORD@TNS_ENTRY.

how to configure TNS_ENTRY kindly refer Oracle documentation.

Hi Taj,
There is already a TNS_ENTRY for this database.

DBDONE.SYSTIMEMBP.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 170.13.254.91)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = etgdev)
    )
  )


And I have tried connecting using :
dbdone/dbdone@etgdev

and

dbdone/dbdone@etgdev.systimembp.com


But both gives the error :
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

Check if your listener is running. Run the following command and show the results.

lsnrctl status

dbdone/dbdone@DBDONE.SYSTIMEMBP.COM
If the entry is DBDONE.SYSTIMEMBP.COM then using "etgdev" or "etgdev.systimembp.com" will not help.

Hi All,

I finally was able to connect to the Sql*Plus using
connect dbdone/dbdone@170.13.254.91:1521/etgdev


Now I know that when one has to connect to a remote host then the connection should be as :

username/password@hostname:port/servicename



Regards,
Mahi

Not with a 9i SQL*Plus, as I said this is only available from 10g.

Thanks Michel,
But I was not aware that with Oracle 10g I can connect it. I just did some trial and error like before and luckly got connected.
However I connected the Oracle 9i database through 10g Sql*Plus only.

Mahi
