It absolutely beggars belief that you still 'don't get it'. I am genuinely starting to believe that you are just posting random drivel to see how much you can wind up other posters here.

This is what Oracle says:

you don't have privilege on the database link. You create public or private db_links. The point of grants is not the db_link itself, but the object you are trying to access at the remote database. Permissions must be granted on the remote objects to the user that is trying to connect to the remote DB.

Just to keep this like real simple. When getting this error be sure there are PUBLIC links that work first. Example setting up Adv. replication. Be sure the system passwords match on both nodes, test the PUBLIC link and that its active. Once you're good there then go and create your schema DB link logged in as the schema owner with the proper privs so you can create the private DB link and all other required privs needed to query the remote object. I always keep the passwords the same for the schema DB link on both nodes and public DB links in this example, system user. So key thing, be sure PUBLIC links are active, if they're not first verify passwords match for system schema first. Start there first you will save mucho time. Then create your private schema DB links. Oh and of course one last thing that gets missed mucho times. Be sure you create a connect descriptor in the TNSNAMES.ora file for all DB links being created from the source node to the target node. I've seen peeps miss that one alot.
