Hi Everybody! I have kind of annoying issue with TOAD installation in our
company. I have been given a task to install TOAD right on server running 64nit
version of Oracle database. Here is the detailed setup: Server Windows 2003
64bit standard Oracle database 10.2.0.4 (64bit for windows) TOAD 32bit version
9.7 Here are my problems: The TOAD did not start, because it was missing
oci.dll. I realized that there might be a problem of TOAD not being friendly
with 64bit version od Oracle database. Or at least this version of TOAD we have.
So I installed 32bit Oracle client as well to get over this problem. It was
working fine and TOAD can actually connect the running database instance without
any problems. BUT … there is one problem. Only direct connect is actually
working. If I use the information stored in tnsnames.ora file so it says the
TOAD could not resolve given SID. I have the same tnsnames.ora in both oracle
homes (database and client). Listener is running fine. tnsping is also working
fine. As soon as I choose oracle client home in TOAD and I try to connect via
tnsnames.ora so it does not work. There is no mess in sqlnet.ora files. I have
nothing else there but NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES). Anyone experiencing the
same problem ?

BUT .. there is one problem. Only direct connect is actually

the TOAD could not resolve given SID.
I have the same tnsnames.ora in
both oracle homes (database and client). Listener is running fine.
tnsping is also working fine.
Would that be the 32 bit tnsping or the 64?
As soon as I choose oracle client home in
TOAD and I try to connect via tnsnames.ora so it does not work. There is
no mess in sqlnet.ora files. I have nothing else there but

This means that your default domain name will be ".world" and unles your
tnsnames.ora file has the database alias names suffixed with .world, you
won't get tnsping etc to work.
Check the following:
You are definitely running 32 bit tnsping when you say "it's working".
Cd to the bin folder and .\tnsping.
Does the registry for the 32 bit client have an entry for tns_admin
which is pointing you at the wrong location? If so, set it to where you
find the 64 bit sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora.
I suspect that it is set to point into your 32 bit home\network\admin
and all your data are found in the 64 bit home.
Can you connect ok using the 32 bit sqlplus? Remember to run it from
the bin directory of the 32 bit client.
Did you set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable so both ORACLE_HOME’s can
share the same tnsnames.ora file?
