Title: Database Link Problem

Hello Folks

Just a resounding Thank You to all of you for your tips
The Database Link now works :)
Apologisies we use Win2k, maybe Windoze ;P will have something worth working with by Win3k:)

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
