Hello,
I’m trying to connect to an Oracle 8i database from Tora 1.2.4. The version of tora is from toras website and not the one that comes with Fedora Core 2. I have the oracle client version 9.2.0.4 installeed and sqlplus works. When i fire up tora, it sees the oracle plugin, and the databases in the tnsnames file. When i try to connect, it comes back with the error “Unable to connect to the database” No ora error codes or nothing, just that. I have set the $oracle_home, $oracle_base,ld_library_path, ld_assume_kernel variables set – no other oracle related variables have been set. I want to move to Fedora Core2. Currently, I have Fedora core 1, tora 1.2.4, and I’m not sure what oracle client is installed, and the connection works perfectly. I was hoping to get core 2 configured and running before i switch my main pc over. If i ever get it running, I’ll post the steps i went through on my website.

i just figured it out. i’m on SuSE 8.2 and i found that this env variable had to be removed!
unset ORA_NLS33
then tora worked!

Hi,
got the same problem with SuSE 8.2 and Oracle 10g
together with TOra 1.2.4 (stable). I’ve tried everything suggested so far. Has anybody got a clue?

ORA-12705 invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified”
TOra 1.2.4
Fedora Core 2
Kernel: Linux 2.6.4-1.300
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN
NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN
LC_ALL=en_US
LANG=en_US
$ tora &
[3] 7345
$ Qt: Locales not supported on X server
And although I can select oracle connection provider and see my databases, I still get the ORA-12705
“invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified”
when trying to open connection :-(
What am I missing??

Yes, tora works with 10g. Had a problem with the new NLS. Created the database using UTF-8, struggled for a few hours, then decided on a whim to recompile tora. works fine now…Had to set the “LANG” environment variable “LANG=en_US” and my machine locales are “LC_ALL=en_US”.
Hope that helps,
James

Hi Mark,
I ve read the posting on your weblog about Oracle 10g and tora.
I have just downloaded TOra 1.3.13 alpha for linux and installed it on RHEL AS 3.0.
It was just a matter of installing the rpm and voil ! I was able to connect immediately to my fresh installation of Oracle 10g.
I haven t played with all its features but it looks very promising .

I remember having a similar problem not with Tora.
Unfortunately I cannot recall the details. I think it was an incorrect NLS_LANG in a Windows Registry.
I suggest, if you can, create a logon trigger for the schema which will start a trace.
Then you should be able to examine the trace file and see what command is causing the issue.
create or replace trigger USERNAME.trace_on after logon on schema
begin
execute immediate ‘ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS ‘’10046 trace name context forever, level 4′’ ‘;
end;
