I was able to do this on HPUX, Oracle 7.3.4 by creting a tnsnames.ora
entry like the one below:
<SID>_LOOP = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1601)
(HOST=127.0.0.1))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<SID>)))
and using it for 'USING' clause of the dblink. the IP address 127.0.0.1
is our localhost/loopback entry in /etc/hosts like so:
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
YMMV,
