RE: Can you create a database link back to same database?

hi,

I think that oracle is not finding the database descriptor (using 'fr.is.inr.com';) in the tnsnames.ora archive.

try this on the OS.

tnsping fr.is.inr.com

it should report something like this:

TNS Ping Utility for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 2.3.4.0.0 - Production on
