...and you created the view on the "other" side of the database link where none of the tables are remote tables? Basically, on the remote system you would create a view like this:
create view call_this_from_somewhere_else as select this and that from a table in this database start with primary key in (select same datatype from another table b,c,d(several other tables) connect by prior etc., hierarchy ...and then from the other system you'd call: select * from call_this_from_somewhere_else@remote_db; Jeffery Stevenson Databeast Slayer Medical Present Value, Inc.
