Link to Oracle database

Hi all,
I have installed Oracle client tool on the SQL server and have checked the t
ns file. Everythings look fine, even from the server I can run SQL Plus and
connect to the Oracle database. When I create a link and try to refresh tabl
es under linked serve, I ge
t this error: Error 7399:OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. I rein
stalled MDAC 2.8, but I get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.
ShahriThat's a generic error. Try turning on trace flag 7300 or
us SQL Profiler to capture the OLEDB Errors event. This
should give you to get more information about the error.
Additionally, you'll want to check the following article:
