I have two Oracle 8.1.6 database on different servers. I created a link on server 'A' called 'instance_link' whish point to the Instance 'B' on server 'B'. It works fine. I then created a link on server 'B' called 'instance_link' that point to Instance 'A' on server 'A'. When I tried the link I get an ORA-02085 which says the link name must be the same as the instance name. Any ideas why they do not work the same? Thanks!
