title: Can't connect to localhost database with VSCode Oracle Explorer
body: <p>I have a Visual Studio Code version 1.69.1 project in which I'm trying to connect to my local Oracle 12C database.</p>
  <p>I've done it exactly how the documentation says to do it, and I've verified that my local database connection is up and listening; I've verified by connecting through SQL Developer.  Nonetheless I still get the following error:</p>
  <pre><code>Error opening connection 'USER1.orcl'.Details: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
  </code></pre>
  <p>This is a shot of my Oracle Explorer configuration:</p>

  <p>And this is a shot of the exact same connection in SQL Developer - which connects fine:

  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
