Thread: What is the SQL Server equivalent of TNSNAMES.ORA

    What is the SQL Server equivalent of TNSNAMES.ORA

    Hello Gang,

    At the moment am looking into consolidating SQL Server databases. I am basically an Oracle DBA and know very little about SQL Server.

    The question is, if I move the database to a new server then in Oracle I will change the values in TNSNAMES.ORA to point in the right direction. Where should I do this in case of SQL Server 7?

    Thanks in advance,
    -Shyami

    Oracle:
    Client->ODBC or OLE DB->Net8->TNS->Listener->Server

    MS:
    Client->ODBC or OLE DB->Client Net Library->TDS->Server Network Library->SQL Server RDBMS
