    Hi,

    I have tried most of the solution proposed in different post but none worked for me. I'm trying to get Tora 2.1 to work on Oracle 10g client - Win XP. I have the created the TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variable. I connect with TNS but get the error "unable to connect to database". Should the client be installed in the Tora folder. I dont know where the problem lies.

    Need your help and thanks for your time.

    Why did you not try ALL the proposed solutions?  Especially the one about the stub dll should not be skipped.

    Can you please give me some more details about stub dll solution.

    In the installation directory there is a file oci.dll that is a STUB so that TOra functions even if you don't have Oracle client installed. If you DO have the oracle client installed, this stub file should be removed.

    I have installed Tora 2.1.1 on windows xp machine, which have Oracle client 10.2.0 installed. I have set both the environment variables correctly. But when try to connect to database, getting error "Unable to get error description".

    Interestingly, I have removed oci.dll from installed folder also. Even then also, I am not able to connect. Please help
