I can’t connect to my Oracle database thru DB Explorer. I looked this up and I can’t seem to find a solution. Here’re the only posts that seem to be applicable:

The logged error I’m receiving is the same, but for good measure, here it is:

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

[Michael Flanakin]

Sorry ’bout that one 🙂 Eclipse 3.0.1 and ME 3.8.4 on Win XP Pro using JDK 1.4.2-07

Almost there…

What version of Oracle? What driver? What version of the driver? How did you configure the driver in MyEclipse?

[Michael Flanakin]

Ya know, as soon as I saw the email, I knew I forgot the database info. Anyway, Oracle 9i w/ 8i drivers. I tried both Oracle drivers, OCI and thin, with both driver classes, oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver and oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. I even tried it with the 9i driver classes for good measure. Nobody on my project is using 9i and I can’t afford to update to the 9i client driver and risk breaking the project.

Could you try deleting the connection profile you created, close Eclipse, relaunch Eclipse, re-create the profile and try to connect again? Let me know if you get diffirent behavior.

Also, have you defined the driver location in Windows->Preferences->MyEclipse->Database Explorer->Drivers?

[Michael Flanakin]

I’ve already tried deleting the profile and recreating it. That didn’t work. And, yes, the driver is defined within the prefs – both of them (OCI and thin).
