I have users here that have created dblinks that work fine but...you can select from it but you cant describe a table.

SIMO>select * from time_at_duma
  2 ;

TIME

---

07:23 PM

SIMO>desc time_at_duma
ERROR:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

Am I missing something??? Received on Thu Jan 24 2002 - 08:34:51 CST
