Problem
While trying to connect to ORACLE Server via DBTools.h++, I get the following error:
ORA-06401:netcmn:invalid driver designator
Cause
This error usually happens if the tnsnames.ora file is missing. This is the case when the server and the client are installed on the same machine. In this case ORACLE does not require SQLNET.
Action
DBTools.h++ usually expects the client to use SQLNET to connect to his server. In this case, you must talk to your database admin about how to connect the ORACLE database. Sometimes, passing the string 2:serverName as the default server name helps. (Personal Oracle).
