I have created a database link in one database to access the second database. I have used the correct connect strings but when I try to describe a table using the database link I receive ORA-02019. I have tried everything. GLOBAL_NAMES is set to true so I am using the database name as the link name. I have also tried using the connect string from TNSNAMES as my using clause. I still receive this error. I can access my Linux DB (from a NT DB). I can *not* access a NT DB from my Linux DB (via dblink). I receive the same error. ----- END FORWARD ---- TIA ----- Stewart McGlaughlin Oracle DBA On-site at AT&T Wireless Services Oracle Links @ http://www.stewartmc.com/oracle
