Joni,
I don't think this is an error. If the tables are identically named, you'll have to use the schema as a qualifier. The reason is because Oracle looks for the table you have named locally first, then looks for the @link if it can't find it.

Hi,
I am in Oracle 8.1.6. The Describe command seems to work a little funny.If I use describe in the following way
Desc schema.tab_name_at_link;
I get the structure of table in the link database. But if I use it without the schema
Desc tab_name_at_link;
I get the structure of a table named the same in the current schema.
I think there is more to it.
Has anyone experienced this?
