Hi, Any of you Oracle-L people use Mathematica 5.1? Do you know of any tricks or tips to establish a JDBC connection between Mathematica 5.1 and Oracle 10g? I tinkered with my setup for a couple hours and could not get the connection to take. Screen dump from a Mathematica notebook-interface: << DatabaseLink` OpenSQLConnection[JDBC["oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver", \ "jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:ORCL"], Username -> "SCOTT", "Password" ->= \ "TIGER"] JDBC::error: "JDBC error: Invalid Oracle URL specified" The 10g DB is on my OS X Mac. I have some other Java tools on my Mac and they connect to 10g with no prob= lem. Thanks, -msg -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
