    <p>I am able to connect to an Oracle database using several tools, but am unable to connect using Toad for Oracle 8.5.3 (<em>though before a login/logout to Windows I was able to</em>).</p> <p>I am not using <strong>TNSNAMES.ORA</strong> to connect. I have two Oracle homes:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 (OraClient10g_home1)</code> and <code>C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2</code> (ODACHome2)</p> </blockquote> <p>where client 2 was installed after client 1.</p> <p>I have tried Toad with each home, but I get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" when I supply the database name, user name, and password. I can connect using SQL*Plus using this same information, and I can connect via ADO.NET (ODP.NET). <strong>tnsping</strong> (client 2) to the server works, but <strong>tnsping</strong> (client 1) does not.</p> <p>My <strong>PATH</strong> environment variable contains, in order:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\bin;C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\bin</code></p> </blockquote> <p>and changing the order of <strong>PATH</strong> seems to have no effect. When I added the line</p> <blockquote> <p><code>NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)</code></p> </blockquote> <p>to <strong>sqlnet.ora</strong> of client 2, Toad still could not connect, but the error message appeared much more quickly.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
