Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Can you create a database link back to same database?
Make an entry in your tnsnames.ora like the one below:
DBSID_LOOP = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1601)
(HOST=127.0.0.1))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DBSID)))
Then create your db link with: using 'DBSID_LOOP';
It should work, this is on HPUX, Oracle 7.3.4.
