How to check Oracle odbc connectivity in solaris ?

Hi,

I have my application and database servers running on solaris. I need to check Db connectivity for a datasource in my Db server.
Please guide me how to do it in solaris env.

Aru

use the command tnsping to check the db server is up or not

tnsping <database name>

you need to buy Unix ODBC driver (lil expensive!) to be installed either in db server or application server. This is not free like windows odbc.
