Hi, I know how to create a database link between two oracle servers, but problem is that SID is same for both servers, Is there any other way to connect two servers without using only 'SID' ..here are TNSNAMES.ORA FILE i HAVE

D.w=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST=ff.ffc.pic.com)
(PORT = 1521)
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SID = abc)
)
)

A.w=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=aa.bb.cs.com)
(PORT = 1521)
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SID = abc)
)

Is there any other way rather that this

Create database link a connect to username identified by password
using 'SID';

If anyone know the alternative like using SID.A.w or how I can differentiate these two SID s. Please reply soon

Thanks

> but problem is that SID is same for both servers,
Why is that a problem?
I have the same SID in both Production & QA, but use different aliases.

Hi-

I am not sure why you specifying SID in you create db link command.

It should be like

Create database link <db link>
connect to <username> identified by <pwd>
using 'A.W';

You just have to specify the service name not the SID.

Thanks!
Rama.

Teenu80,
my car is not working.
The Check Engine light is on.
Tell me how to fix my car.

The above is essentially what you've told us (TINU).
>Create database link a connect to username identified by password using 'SID';
Above is NOT correct.
The string between the single quote marks is the TNSNAMES alais.
You could benefit from reading the fine manuals found at
http://tahiti.oracle.com

Its working now
If two databases on different servers have the same SID then this code doesn't work :

create database link <link name> connect to <userid> identified by <password> using 'SID'

otherwise it will work for sure.

To solve this problem I just copied the whole code = alais

create database link <link name> connect to <username> identified by <password> using '(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = f.f.p.com)
(PORT = 1521)
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = abc)
)
)'

This is how I solved my problem
but if you write only alais name like " using 'A.W' "
will not work.

Thanks for all to help

>Oracle to oracle data transfer using database link
DB_LINK is always required between different instances regardless of different or same server.
