Bill,

    Queries across DB links are pretty messy. Check Metalink I found some information there, particularly on tuning SQL*Net/Net8. Outside of that there is not too much you can do. One thing you should try to minimize if possible is queries that have a mix of local and remote tables. In that case since the local DB has no idea of what the indexes are on the remote system, it sometimes decides that the best way is to create a temp table locally of all that remote data * then perform the joins. Needless to say that temp table is not indexed.

Hello,

We seem to have more and more questions regarding query performance across DB Links, and how to improve it. I have the Gurry/Corrigan book, but can't find anything on this specific topic.
Can anyone point me to a good whitepaper or other article regarding query performance across DB Links? Thanks
