SYSDATE can be local and remote -- how to distinguish them?.
Same is related to some other functions as well, e.g. USER.
Try to do SELECT SYSDATE FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]; and trace
remote session. Oracle engine is smart enough.

Mladen, there is no "synonym for @#$%!", be more serious :)

Fascinating. I've tried:

SYSDATE@ no
[EMAIL PROTECTED] no
SYSDATE@@ no
SYSDATE! no

and [EMAIL PROTECTED] yes

But why?
