Re: db link from oracle 8.1.7 to 8.0.5

Are you sure your dblinks work?
Check what you have in sys.link$.
If your dblinks are public be sure to create them with the "USING" clause. Last but not least, you may be hitting a bug.

hi list,

i am trying to make a database link from oracle 8.1.7 to oracle 8.0.5, but its failing,
giving message "DB LINK NOT ACTIVE"
global_names parameter is false on both the database, the schema in which its being created exists in both the databases with same password and privillages, and i am using CONNECTED USER mode of database link,

is that possible to create db link in such conditions, any suggestions,

Thanks in Advance

Arslan
