Hi Oracle Gurus,

I have recently started learning DBA skills. All the day I just go thru this list to pick up as much as I can. It would be nice if my problem is solved, which might be very simple, but as I m still in learning phase I might not have gone thru the complete information about it.

I have created a Database link 'link1' in user schema 'user1' on Oracle 8.1.5 to connect another database on Oracle 7.3.3. Using the link I can do 'select * from table1_at_link1' operation, but when I try to describe the same table using 'desc table1_at_link1' it gives me an error 'ORA-12663 : Services required by client not available on the server'

Is there any thing which I missed out....

Thanx in advance....

Ravi
