Getting this error when executing SQL Server query only when connected via remote Desktop. When running the query from desktop, no problem. Is this a tsnNames issue? Linked server to Oracle 9i Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error] [OLE/DB provider returned message: ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist ] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].
