Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Database Link Problem
It's not just over a database link. I have Net8 installed at home, when I
dial into my work database, running at 7.3.4, I can't do a describe either.
Same error message.
I first saw this in 8.0.3, it still seems to be happening.
