Re: Database link between Oracle7 and Oracle8

Yes, the bases TNSNAMES (in Oracle7 and Oracle8) are both all rigth. I have checked everything, and it looks ok... Global names are good in both definitions of databases.
Maybe that's a general problem, but I just can't find a reference to that problem in the Internet... Even Oracle is not clear enough about that kind of thing.

Thanx for your help.
