On an Oracle11g database, this works:
SQL> connect USER/pass Connected.
However, this doesn't:
SQL> connect USER/pass@db ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I have executed:
SQL> grant connect to USER; Grant succeeded.
What am I missing?
tnsnames.ora:
DB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = a.dom.b.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = db) ) )

The other two don't.

This one produces identifier error:
:> sqlplus USER/pass@db//localhost:1521 SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Mon Mar 11 15:10:38 2013 Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle. All rights reserved. ERROR: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I have verified tnsnames.ora entry and I am spelling service correctly.
