I would like get your opinion on what would be the best way provide access to data across multiple databases on just on Node (database).
One way that I have tried is create a view on one database that reads tables across remaining four databases using Dblinks. Let us say there is a table called CUSTOMER that resides on five databases, in order to make it easier to generate reports, a combined view can be created with dblinks on these tables using UNION ALL on one database. Only concern I have is that when using Dblinks, Oracle might copy the entire remote table to the local database and then retrieve the data based on where clause. This might be a significant performance issue especially if the tables are very BIG. If there are better ways to accomplish this or any ideas on this one will be greatly appreciated.
