Let me explain my situation. The oracle server is version 7.3.4 running on Solaris. I compiled DCOracle 1.3.1b1 on the Sun using the Oracle 7 libraries. With this I can access an Oracle 8.0.5 database running on Linux over the network.
Now I want to access the Oracle 7 database from a Linux machine. Only Oracle you can get for Linux is 8, so I'm using 8.1.6. I can get it to compile and installed.
But when I do the following to the Oracle 7 database I get:
import DCOracle dbc = DCOracle.Connect("ota/ota@ota1") OCI_ERROR at oci_8.c:326 ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python1.5/DCOracle/ocidb.py", line 77, in __init__ sc=oci_8.Logon(u,p,s) OracleError: (1005, 'ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied')
Can anyone please help me to get this to work... Try to compile DCOracle without the "-DORACLE8" compiler option. This will work with Oracle 8, too.
