Hi,

How can we access a table which is in different database.
for e.g., Table "X" is present in Database name: "P1".
Now , I want to access this table from database "P2" .
Both P1 and P2 are oracle databases only.
how can I achieve this.

Thanks,

Thanks,

I created a DBlink and I am using it for select/query the data in one of the Procedure.but,will it have any performance overhead?

Which is the best way
1)Querying the datbase from the JDBC and retrive the results
or 2)by using the dblink ?

Thanks,

It all depends on what you finally want to do.

Actually I have to suggest which is the best way?
what happens if we use dblink ?
performance will be degrade ,right?
If that is the case then we will opt 2 method.

If one method was always better, why wouldn't we say so?
The optimum solution depends entirely on what you're doing.

Perhaps you might also consider use of materialized view (if possible); doing so, you'd have all data in your local database and queries might run quite fast (if compared to ones that run over a database link).
