Hello, everyone,

    I have a question like to ask about creating database link.

    Both Server and Client database are Oracle8 (which using SID in tnsnames.ora, but not SERVICE_NAME).

    And they are both on NT4.

    How can I specify the "connect_string" in the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement as:

         CREATE DATABASE LINK link_name
            CONNECT TO username IDENTIFIED BY password
            USING 'connect_string';

    Tried using DB_NAME.DB_DOMAIN there, no luck!     Tried using SID only, still no luck!     Tried using hostname:port:SID, no luck also!

    Please help!!!!!!!!
