Connection to Oracle fails.
Dialog: "Create a New OGR Database connection"
I entered Host, Database, Port, Username and Password

Then "Test connection" replies:

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified in

And after hitting the OK button:

Invalid Data Source
OCI:Username/Password@Host/Database is not a valid or recognized data source

Even when I leave Host empty, I get an error because the slash is still in front of Database.
What are the steps to make the Oracle connection work?
