Hi,
I created a database link using the following syntax:
create database link bf connect to dskowron identified by mypassword using 'bfield'
where 'bfield' is an entry in my TNSNAMES.ORA file. The two databases are part of a local area network running Netware 5. The database versions are Oracle8 Release 8.0.3.0.6
The 'bfield' enter in the TNSNAMES.ORA file is correct - I use it to connect to that database.
The problem is when I try to query on the remote database: select * from sampledata@bf I get an error which tells me that the server cannot resolve the service name. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dave Skowron

Hi Dave!
There are two files named TNSNAMES.ORA.
One is on your client-pc and the other one is on
the oracle-server-maschine.
For using database-links, 'bfield' must be declared in the TNSNAMES.ORA on your oracle-
server-maschine.
