Re: database link questions

What is the domain of the database in which you are creating the link?

Can you be more specific? I am curious also. When I create a link to a database on 'xxx' it comes out 'xxx.cj.com' which is correct but I began looking around and I don't see how it is working. In our initxxx.ora file we have 'db_domain = WORLD'. In the sqlnet.ora file we have #NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
# NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = cj.com
As you can see, both are commented out. We are on Sun Solaris and I did find /etc/resolve.conf with:
domain cj.com.
search cj.com.

Is that where it is coming from or is there some other place to look.

Also, if I change the global name like:
alter database rename global_name to test; Then is comes out as 'TEST.CJ.COM'.

Since it is clearly ignoring my oracle parameters, it must be an OS level thing. And, since it has always worked for me, I never really questioned it. Now that Kathy has asked about it, I am sure there are many of us who are curious about it.

One more thing, I couldn't find any reference to it in the installation guide.

TIA,
John

The extension on a database link is always the domain of the database it is created in.
