All,
I'm working with two Oracle databases, each one behind a separate firewall. I want to create a database link between the two and was wondering what the security issues are since this database link will be 'in-the-clear'. My client has gone to extremes to secure the Solaris boxes where these Oracle databases reside and I don't wish to put the databases or servers at risk.
Is the data that passes along this database link encrypted? Can an Oracle database be 'hacked' through this database link?
