RE: Oracle 8i Database links

Yes Global_name is true. What is the down side of setting it to false?

Hello,

What is your error message.
Have you set Global_nane to true ?

I have rep between 7.3 and 8.1.X and it works.

Best Regards
Henrik

I am trying to create a database link from and Oracle8i database to an Oracle 7.3.4 database. I am having trouble with the global names. Our sids are just sid names, no domain name. How do I get around this?
