Connecting to Oracle DB in Sun Server (Solaris OS)

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi Guys,

I'm currently interfacing .NET windows application to
connect to Oracle DB in my test server running in windows
2000 server using .NET Oracle provider and it works fine.

Since our production server is running under Sun Server
with Solaris OS, Do I need to configure something (besides
the server name) with my connection string when I connect
to production server which is running in Sun Solaris?

My .NET windows application is running in Windows 2000
platform.

Thanks,

Rod

Hi Rod

You shouldn't have to change anything from the .NET side in terms of moving
to a Sun Database Server. The only thing you need to do is to make sure
that there is a TNSNAMES entry setup in Oracle NET8 which points to the
database on the Sun Server. The rest should be plain sailing.

Ozzy

Hi Ozzy,

Thanks for the quick response.

Which provider for .NET is much better, the one created by
microsoft (System.Data.OracleClient) or the one create by
Oracle (Oracle.DataAccess)?

Thanks,

Rod
