Hello, Manas,

        I think it's about the GLOBAL_NAME init parameter on the server
site.
        Check to see if you have GLOBAL_NAME set to TRUE where PROD points
to.
        Be very careful about GLOBAL_NAME, coz when it set to be TRUE, then
you are using DB_NAME.DB_DOMAIN instead of just the DB_NAME.
        Hope it helps!

Yours,

Keith Shum

Hi:

I'm having problems setting up and using database link.
My create statement looks as follows:
create database link PROD connect to xuser identified by xpwd using
'TRNGPROD';

I then execute :
select * from sysadm.employees@PROD.
and get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

However I can connect to TRNGPROD from SQLPlus.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Manas.
