Re: DB Link Problem

[Scott Canaan]

I always set the global_name manually, with an update statement.  It does have to match, or it won't work.

Hello List,

Have a problem,
Oracle 817
Win3K sp6
Trying to create a DB link between the production and the test dbs.

The db_link creates fine ( so it appears).
However when you try to run a script to reference the other, I get

select count(*) from workorder@maxie
                               *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link MAXIE connects to MAXTEST.TFMC.CO.ZA

I checked out the manual, but it seems as thou I have created the link
correctly.
I also checked out metalink, which suggested changing the global_name with
ALTER DATABASE RENAME global_name TO MAXTEST
But this causes the following error:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found.

Has anyone got any ideas? Is this a bug?

TIA
Denham
