Joni,

I don't think this is an error. If the tables are identically named, you'll have to use the schema as a qualifier. The reason is because Oracle looks for the table you have named locally first, then looks for the @link if it can't find it.

Hi,

I am in Oracle 8.1.6. The Describe command seems to work a little funny.If I use describe in the following way

Desc schema.tab_name_at_link;

I get the structure of table in the link database. But if I use it without the schema

Desc tab_name_at_link;

I get the structure of a table named the same in the current schema.

I think there is more to it.

Has anyone experienced this?
