Oracle 8.1.6, using Net8, wants me to name my db_link the same as the database that it's linking to.
I don't want to. Tried using a synonym but that didn't work. Tried using create database link linkname connect to userid identified by password using ' (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = dbname) ) )' ; Didn't work. It created the database link just fine but when I try to use it I get: ORA-02085: database link linkname connects to dbname Anyone know of any work-arounds. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
