Setup ODBC DSN

3628469Jan 30 2018 — edited Jan 30 2018

Hello,

I am new to Oracle. I tried searching but did not find anything about the specific issue that I am having. Probably because it is very basic.

I am trying to setup a DSN on my computer to connect to the companies Oracle database.

These are the steps I have taken:

- Installed Oracle Client 12.2

- Installed the Oracle ODBC driver.

- Installed Visual Studio 2013

- The driver shows up in the ODBC Data Source Administrator

- I was sent the TNS info for the database I am trying to connect

- When I try to Add a System Data Source I get the following error

I am unsure if I am using the right TNS name. I am using "Service Name" out of the snippet of code that I was sent.

(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=Service Name)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
