Hi, 
Can someone please explain what is happening in this
case.

I created link lnkAB from instA to instB, it is a
private db link. with username and password in the
link.

And then I created a synonym syntableX
(not public) on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now I tried desc syntableX at my instanceA, you wont
believe the process hung forever. I couldnt even kill
the the session from system.

I tried created tableXdest as select * from synTableX
(process frozen). Couldnt kill it.

I tried created tableXdest as select * from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (process frozen). Couldnt kill it.

I found on metalink
create table tableXdest UNRECOVERABLE as select * from
synTableX. Worked fine. No problems.

to do a Desc synTableX I created a view 
"create view tview as select * from synTableX". Do 
Desc tview. Works just fine. 


I couldnt understand what was happening in the above
scenario. Could someone please explain. Using 8.1.7.on
unix
