My computer does not require Windows authentication. If Tam's NT
system does, then the question is whether Stata wants his NT password
or the database password. If it's the former I can't help, but I
assume it's the latter.
Raphael: I've never used Oracle. Since your Oracle ODBC driver is not
asking you for a password when setting the data source name, there are
two possibilities: either it allows password-less access, in which
case Stata shouldn't need one; or, more likely, it won't let you burn
it into the Data Source Name for security reasons. It just wants to
make sure that every time a database connection is requested, a human
will have to type in a password.
If you're sure that Oracle will in fact allow password-less access,
and Stata is still asking you for one, and it's not your NT password,
then I can only think of one thing: you are setting the wrong dsn() in
the odbc load command. You're trying to make Stata load a table from a
database managed though some other DBMS than Oracle, such as MS
Access. Stata could tell you that the table you're looking for is not
there, but it must first ask for your password to that DBMS.
