Hello List,

  Have a problem,
  Oracle 817
  Win3K sp6
  Trying to create a DB link between the production and the test dbs.

The db_link creates fine ( so it appears). However when you try to run a script to reference the other, I get

select count(*) from workorder_at_maxie

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link MAXIE connects to MAXTEST.TFMC.CO.ZA

  I checked out the manual, but it seems as thou I have created the link   correctly.
  I also checked out metalink, which suggested changing the global_name with   ALTER DATABASE RENAME global_name TO MAXTEST   But this causes the following error:
  ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found.

Has anyone got any ideas? Is this a bug?

TIA
Denham
