Re: Database link in Oracle8

Actually this message is trying to say that the database link name does not match the name of the database you are connecting to. If you want to have database link's with different names than the database you are connecting to you have to set the following parameter in the init.ora file:

GLOBAL_NAMES = false

This will allow you to name your database links any name you wish.
