OLEDB provider issue

newbiegalDec 14 2010 — edited May 21 2013
Hi all,

I'm setting up linked server from sql server to oracle. I installed Oracle client 10.2.0.1 on the server, configured ODBC to the Oracle database using OraOLEDB.Oracle provider. Created linked server on sql server, but getting the below error:


SELECT * FROM
testlink..user.table

OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.ORACLE" for linked server "TestLink" returned message "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "ORAOLEDB.ORACLE" for linked server "TestLink".

tnsping to the oracle database works from the server and the ODBC connection testlink to the oracle database is successful. I tried checking Allow inprocess in the provider option by right clicking linked server properties on the management studio also.. Nothing seemed to work..

Please help.. thanks
