- Keep in mind that this is merely registering the tcp socket-port number.
- It also helps to be running the deamon process that will listen on this
- socket -- namely oracle's ORASRV. Note: DBKit can NOT talk to Oracle
- without this process running! (Even when it's on the same machine...)
-
- I suggest you ask the SPARC guys to contact Oracle & obtain this program!

- humf. Running DBModeler, under the "Entity" menu,
- select "Choose Entities...". Then log into oracle as the oracle user of
- your choice. Select the tables you wish to build a model for... Boom,
- your halfway there... (You still need to enter the relationships...
- And allow the original account permission to select said tables...)
-
- Anyway, it makes life easier...

-
- YES!!! Particularly check that the letter-CASE is correct! And that
- your NeXT can access the SPARC-machine! (telnet sparc.machine??).

-
- Good luck.
