Thats interresting, because I used db-links a few months ago and got irritating errors while using this
link in packages....then I found an article (dont ask me where I have got it now...) that since Ora7 one
should use the global name as the db-link name. I tried it and all my problems were gone....

Does anybody knows more about this problem?
