Is rev Oracle support just a joke?

[Sakari Ruoho]

Hi Jan,

thanks for the reply, I was already given up the hope for connecting 
Oracle. Here's the string I'm using to connect the database.

revOpenDatabase("oracle", "localhost", "ORCL", "sakari", "test") ORCL 
being the SID, sakari the username and test the password. I'm using 
oracle 10g on OS X 10.5, but did also try to connect Oracle on Solaris.

 I did try several variation of that same string with port number 
defined etc. The string works with other programs like SQLDeveloper, but 
I'm not a dba so dunno all the tricks. If you could help me out, that 
would be greatly appreciated.

With best regards,

Sakari
