RE: Need help - Database link - Please!!

I'm sorry. The error is not that the user cannot use the database link. The error is that Oracle does not want the user to update table-a in database-b even though the user has update permissions.

You should set up synonyms which define the tables_at_public_dblink in database b. Put these synonyms in database a. Then anyone can use the linked tables from the package in database a.
