Oracle's documentation is less than stellar, for one thing, so when I try to look up things about the Oracle Home directory I feel like I'm a fictional detective trying to track down my arch nemesis.Sigh.
My brain is itching. It wants to write this story. As if I didn't have enough projects to work on as it is...
Write Brandy! Write like the wind!
Ummm. Okay.
"Like the wind."
Ooh, excellent! Another masterpiece. : -)

We joke that you have to be certified in Oracle to be able to read the documentation. I feel your pain.

We did get the Attunity connector working this morning. Just an update, in case anyone was curious. : -)

Wow, getting the Attunity drivers to work with Oracle is an enormous pain. This shouldn't be something that takes days to get right.I never had much troubles with it.
Congratulations!
It is mostly getting the Oracle client(s) to install properly, this is the third server I've done or attempted to do the install on and it never goes the same twice.
Ah, that's something totally different 🙂
Oracle clients are a pain in the *ss.
The download is huge, and I never know what to install, configuring it is even worse.
I usually copy paste the TNSNAMES.ORA from a working machine and pray that it works.
The worse part is: at my current client I succesfully succeeded in installing the Oracle client at a development server, so everytime they need a new install, they come to me. :crazy:

The thread seems very quiet. I've been away three days and there are only 62 new posts on it.
But I may not find the energy to read even those few posts.
Life has suddenly changed. Our daughter is in hospital and very unlikely to come out again. We originally thought it was something that that would be fixed quickly, and didn't worry much, but the medical team discovered it was not quite so simple late last week. Ann and I flew back to the UK on Friday night and I spoke to Nikki at the hospital by phone on Saturday, and she seemed fairly OK, so I planned to go up and see her on Monday. Then on Sunday I got a call from the hospital - it wasn't just not quite so simple, but a good deal worse. I drove up on Monday morning and spent most of 3 days visiting there, mostly with Nikki but also talking to the medical team. Early this afternoon teh medical team's view changed from "difficult to deal with" to "not curable, only limited palliative measures possible, unlikely to be able to return home". Her mother, Ann, was too ill to travel on Monday so I came back this afternoon to pick her up and will drive back up there with her tomorrow, so that she too can visit.

I'm sorry to read that, Tom, but be sure I will pray for her health starting right now.

That is exactly what I did with TNSNames.ora.
