Accessing Oracle DB

Post by tasdvl9 » Tue Sep 06, 2016 10:42 pm

Hello,

having issues accessing an outside Oracle DB.

Keep getting:
revdberr; Invalid DB type.

Is there a need to also include the Service Name in addition to the Hostname? If so, how do I specify this when I pass it into revOpenDatabase?

This works using SQL developer.
In SQL developer I specify a Connection name, Username, Password, Hostname, Port and Service name.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
from here:

Do you use it?
Did you read this: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/OracleDB ?
Have fun!
All code published by me here was created with Community Editions of LC (thus is GPLv3).
If you use it in closed source projects, or for the Apple AppStore, or with XCode
you'll violate some license terms - read your relevant EULAs & Licenses!
