hello,

I am trying to run the cdemo1 sample on Windows 2000 but I keep getting the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. I have set the correct username and password in cdemo1.c before compiling.

I am using Oracle 9i and I have the Oracle Client installed.
I am able to connect to Oracle using the command line with the following command sqlplus qa/tester@TESTSERV and I am also able to connect to Oracle using the Sqlplus Net8 client interface.

I have set ORACLE_HOME on the command line to the path of my oracle home directories. And just for kicks I have also set the ORACLE_SID on the command line to TESTSERV

My tnsnames.ora is configured properly

TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEPSI)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TESTSERV)
(SERVICE_NAME = TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET)

)
)

None of the methods seem to work.Anyone have any ideas why I can't connect with the cdemo1 but I can connect using command line and SQLPLUS?

-Will

Try to check the oracle_sid in the windows registry.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MASHINESOFTWAREORACLEHOME(X)ORACLE_SID)
A not existing oracle_sid can be the problem.

. "ORACLE_SID = <sid>" must be set in the environment. On NT, a corresponding entry must be available in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE and the subdirectory HOME-.
