Bill,
Not sure about the refcursor thningy you mentioned.
I think I would do it another way.
Always have a db link available at compile time for your package. The link
may simply point back to a user in the same database. The thing to do is to
make sure a dblink exists, and that it currently is valid. Remember, a db
link is simply another Oracle object. All that is required is to have one
in place for the compile to work.
At run time, you can drop and re-create the link, pointing to wherever it
needs to point to.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm trying to incorporate a procedure in a package that needs to run using a
dblink name supplied at runtime. The dblink is used in the dml inside the
procedure, but when I compile the package I get "ORA-00942 table or view
does not exist" for all the sql referencing the dblink.
Here is a code snippet:
PROCEDURE CREATE_WC_OVER_DBLINK (
DBLINK VARCHAR2)
v_dblink VARCHAR2(100) := dblink;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mm_product_temp (rec, rec_old, name, is_disabled,
is_workingcopy)
(SELECT mm_product_seq.nextval, rec, name, is_disabled, is_workingcopy
FROM mm_product@v_dblink
WHERE last_update IS null);
.....
END;
/
The ORA-00942 shows up for the line with the INSERT statement.
Looking for ideas as to how to do this. I saw a MetaLink forum posting
indicating that the way to do this is to create a refcursor, then use a
function to return the supplied sql to the refcursor, then open the
refcursor, etc. etc.
Is this the only way to do it?
thanks
bill
