Is it possible to use a database link to connect to a database through the BEQ protocol? When I create a database link and try the following command:

  SQL> select * from tab1_at_dblink1;

I get the following error code:

  select * from tab1_at_dblink1

                     *

  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-12668: Message 12668 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA

The database pointed to by dblink1 is running under Oracle 7.3.2 RDBMS in Digital UNIX 4.0b. The tnsnames.ora file contains the following entry:

test.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = beq)
(PROGRAM = /fs2/app/oracle/product/7.3.2/bin/oracle)
(ARGV0 = oracleTEST1)
(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))')
(ENVS = 'ORACLE_HOME=/fs2/app/oracle/product/7.3.2,ORACLE_SID=test1')
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = test1)
(GLOBAL_NAME = test.world)

    )
  )

Thank you very much for any advice or recommendation.
