CIS 152 Visual tutorial: This tutorial will allow you to connect to CPCC using the Oracle client

tools that you have successfully installed on your home machine. If you have not yet installed the
Oracle database, or Oracle Client software you will need to complete that step first. Please see
the document titled HowToInstal9iClient under Course Documents.

Another Possible Error: You may receive an error like the one below. If you receive this error
you are likely behind a firewall that will not allow you to connect to the CPCC campus using the
Oracle TNS protocol. I get this error from work, so you may have the same issue.

(Note: the ORA-#### at the beginning of the dialog box is the Oracle error number and message.
You will use this in later classes to debug your code.)
