Hi all.

I have recently had to enable global_names in order to set up a replicated environment. The application uses a database link to reconnect to the database under a differant user id (I inheirited this, I had nothing to do with the design!). Appearantly, global_names has a prblem with this...

SQL> select * from dual_at_DONOT_TRIGGER.WORLD; select * from dual_at_DONOT_TRIGGER.WORLD

                   *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link DONOT_TRIGGER.WORLD connects to DRL2.WORLD

SQL> !oerr ORA 2085
02085, 00000, "database link %s connects to %s"

// *Cause: a database link connected to a database with a different name.
//  The connection is rejected.
// *Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it
//  connects to, or set global_names=false.

So, does anybody have any work arounds or ideas how I can get this thing working again?

TIA, John P Weatherman
