Hi all,

I'm having a problem connecting to Oracle 8.0.5.1 through a database link. I have no problems connecting to a 7.3.4 database from the version 8. However, when I try to connect from 8 to another 8 database, I get a TNS unable to connect to resolve service name. We just upgraded to version 8.0.5.1 from 7.3.4.

create database link test connect to scott identified by tiger using 'CONNECT_STRING'; I've tried using various combinations for the CONNECT_STRING but to no avail.

Connections to each of the version 8 databases through SQL*Plus succeeds every time using the service names created with Net 8 easy config. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
