RE: problems with dblink in oracle 10.2.0.2

If you use the same oracle account on both sides of the link and they have the same password, you can use

Create database link <link_name>
Using '<HOST>';

No password will be stored for the link.

Subject: problems with dblink in oracle 10.2.0.2

Hi all:

I have spend 2 weeks trying to get help from Oracle support on this (time
well wasted). Here is my issue.
I am running oracle 10.2.0. on aix 5.3 on a local server and on a remote server. I have oracle id externally
authenticated on both sides. I can connect as sqlplus / to local DB and as
sqlplus /@remoteDB.
I have created a db link on a local database :

create database link remoteDB using 'remoteDB'

When I try to use it I get an error:

desc user_tables_at_remoteDB

 ERROR:  ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

 ORA-02063: preceding line from PCCS03 (this is my remote DB)

The remote instance is up (I can tnsping id and connect via sqlplus). What
is the problem here. I have been using
dblinks created this way in oracle 8 and 9 and never had this issue. Is there anything new in oracle 10 related to this? Does anyone know?

TIA Gene Gurevich
