hi i have 3 databases(A,B,X) on 3 diff boxes. i have created 1 dblink each from A to X & from B to X. The syntax for dblink creation is exactly same for both dblinks.
I am able to query from dblink A-X as "select * from user.table@dblinkAX" but when i try to query from dblink B-X as "select * from user.table@dblinkBX" i get the foll error Error: ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found When i modify my query by suffixing '.world' as "select * from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" , the query works fine. I have compared the entries in init,sqlnet,tnsnmames,listener files on both A & B databases and they are absolutely similar . i was thinking that the domain or globalnames parameters might be diff on A & B , but they are absolutely same . any suggestions are most welcome ... thanks in advance ratnesh ----------------------------------------------- Ratnesh Kumar Singh Sr. Software Engineer Patni Computer Systems Ltd TTC Mahape , Navi Mumbai Work : (91 22) 7611090/110/128/350 Ext. 2107 Home : (91 22) 8662162 http://www.patni.com World-Wide Partnerships.
