Re: Problem with database link

AFAIK, parameter DB_DOMAIN is what appends to the database link name (which must be DB_NAME of your remote database).

SQLWKS> show parameter db_domain

NAME                           TYPE    VALUE
------------------------------ ------- ------------------------------
db_domain                      string  WORLD
