Folks,

    Since I recently slammed into this unexpected wall I'll pass along the
experience.  A couple of weeks ago I upgraded an 8.0.5.2.1 instance to 8.1.7 and
subsequently at OTS's request to 8.1.7.4.  To make a long story short most
things with database links worked OK, but a describe across one did not
(ORA-02019).  The problem ended up being a small error in Oracle's INIT
parameter documentation.  Back in 8.0.5.2.1, due to a bug introduced, you needed
to have DB_DOMAIN=.WORLD or DB_DOMAIN=.VICR.COM.  Note the '.' before the
domain.  Well in 8.1.7, or sometime before that, they fixed the bug, but forgot
about those of us who don't always follow the 'yellow brick road'.  So if your
having problems with ORA-02019's take a second and check this parameter in your
init.ora.  I changed mine & the problems went away.

      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
