First you must create public database link and after that you can create private database link which you assign to the user.

Hi there!

I'm having a problem with database links here.

I am on my SPEEDY database and want to create a link that points to another database called SAM.

create database link SAM connect to user identified by pasword using 'SAM';

Then I try and issue that statement:

select view_name from user_views_at_SAM

ERROR at line 2:
ORA-02085: database link SAM.VIVONET.COM connects to SAM

Where does our domain name appendix (vivonet.com) come from???? I looked in all the possible config files (e.g. sqlnet.ora etc.) and couldn't find anything. In both databases the init.ora parameter is set to global_names = true.

Any idea?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut
