RE: password and dblink mgmt tool

My database "users" are actually Application Schemas. End-users do not have database accounts.
Database Links are requested by the Application Teams to "connect" two databases running
different applications. Neither do I have the same username nor do I expect the same username
present in the two databases. I setup a specific account with privileges only on a subset
of tables/objects in the remote database to be used for the DBLink.
