Hi DBAs I have a problem with database links in one of the databases - the name of the link gets us.oracle.com appended to it. create database link test connect to test_user identified by test_pwd using 'test_db' When I execute: select * from my_table@test I get the ORA-02085 error message the the link test.us.oracle.com connects to test. When I execute: select * from global_name; in the target database the result is: TEST but in the database where I created the link the database name has the suffix: NOVALIS.US.ORACLE.COM I have no problem with database links in the TEST database but would like to know which parameter causes the suffix to be appended in the NOVALIS database. In both init.ora files the global_names is set to true and db_domain is commented out. In both databases the command show parameters; returns the db_domain as blank. Actually both databases are on the same server - Oracle 8.1.6. What should I change to remove the US.ORACLE.COM suffix. I don't care too much about the database, it's my test only, but don't want it appended in the links and maybe other objects...
