I had this problem in the past at a site where we were switching from .world to named domains. I can't remember exactly where I found it but I remember that the method Oracle used to determining the dblink domain was funky. On both databases, check "select * from global_name" and compare the result to "select * from dba_db_links". It seems to me that the domain extension on the global_name was used as the default extension when creating links. Caused me no end of heartburn -- nothing I couldn't work around, but more work arounds than I was happy with.
Hope my memory is sufficient since I don't have the problem at my current site.

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.
