I have two tables in two servers. I created a dblink in one of them to connect to the second server. I see the dblink. But When I say "select * from table_name@dblink" it gives "Could not resolve service name"

What is the problem? What am I doing wrong?

Please help and I am new to dblink.

Thanks,

It gives the same error "could not resolve service name". It is said in another forum that I need to configure the tnsnames.ora in the second database server. Meaning that the second database server should have a service name entry of the first database server. But I don't know how to do that. Most of all I don't have dba rights to the first server. Is there any way to do it even if I dont have rights

If you have not right to some information, Oracle will not give you them - this is rule Smile

. For creating correct dblink, see examples. It is not so hard, but for me need many time to write.

create public database link link1
connect to your_username
identified by "passwd"
using 'YOUR_SID'

command
>tnsping YOUR_SID
runned from machine, where placed database, where you create dblink, must return OK. If not, then edit your tnsmanes.ora for setting up YOUR_SID. The test for correct work of dblink is
SQL>select * from dual@dblink;
which must return result, not error.
