Re: Database link

Witold,

Please check sqlnet.ora, try to comment out NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN entry. Also, you can comment out glocal_dbname=xxxx in listener.ora file to see what happens.

for example;
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =

#      (GLOBAL_DBNAME= xxxxx.world)
      (ORACLE_HOME= /oracle/product/8.1.7)
      (SID_NAME = ORCL)
