Re: database link with oracle8 when there is a global database name!

World is an Oracle assigned pseudo domain, a kind of catch-all if you don't use the facility. All the other domains need to be _real_, under DNS, though of course subdomains like support.oracle.com are allowed, where only oracle.com is registered.

Hth,
