Hi,

You say you can connect to the database from SQL*Plus. Do you mean SQL*Plus from the same machine as where the database is, or SQL*Plus from your Client.
You need to have an entry to 'TRNGPROD' on the database server that you want to create the database link on.

Else Indeed you should check the Global_names parameter (as someone already pointed out)

Hi:

I'm having problems setting up and using database link. My create statement looks as follows:
create database link PROD connect to xuser identified by xpwd using 'TRNGPROD'; I then execute :
select * from sysadm.employees_at_PROD.
and get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

However I can connect to TRNGPROD from SQLPlus.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Manas.
