Hi,

There is a select query that I am running from pl/sql developer

select * from db2table;


Now since the link to db2 is down this query keeps on running for as much as 20-25 mins and then throws error.

Can I put something in the query so that it returns as soon as it finds the link down .

I do not want to change any oracle settings , I only want it to be query specific.

It depends of your actual need.
If you want a synchroneous and immediate answer, there is no way.
Otherwise you can spawn a job that makes the select into a local table when your current session wait a while and see if the data are there in the local table, if not raise an error otherwise select from the local table.
