How to connect to a listener entry with Heterogeneous Services

edited Dec 14, 2016 7:46AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓

I have set up the following environment.

I have on a windows machine FoxPro database.

On the same machine I have installed Oracle Database 10g. I had to use 10g because 11g will not work with FoxPro ODBC driver. I have a listener entry on the 10g Windows machine that points to ODBC on the FoxPro database.

On our live database 11g I created a database link that connects to the 10g Heterogeneous Services listener entry. This works.

How can I connect with sql plus from the windows machine to the HS listener entry. I try the following:

set oracle_sid=hsodbc

Howdy, Stranger!
