Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: database link questions
This is what I eventually did and this fixed my database link problem.
I could have done it like another list member suggested to use the whole edi.belkin.com in the database link name, but then I would have had to remember to do this for any future database links, so the one time alter of the global names fixed the problem.
I did open a tar with Metalink and they don't seem to know the answer to why I would
see us.oracle.com in the global name when service_name, db_domain, etc are all set in
the init.ora.
The us.oracle.com I assume was probably typed in the domain area during installation.
Where it is stored for the global name to use, no one seems to know.
Now onto more fun... ODBC driver connection problem with Interdev, 8.1.7 Oracle to an IIS server. Will the fun never end?

Try updating directly to the global_name table:
update global_name
set global_name='MY_DB_NAME';

Can you be more specific? I am curious also. When I create a link to a database on
'xxx' it comes out 'xxx.cj.com' which is correct but I began looking around and I
don't see how it is working. In our initxxx.ora file we have 'db_domain = WORLD'. In
the sqlnet.ora file we have
#NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
# NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = cj.com
As you can see, both are commented out. We are on Sun Solaris and I did find
/etc/resolve.conf with:
domain cj.com.
search cj.com.
Is that where it is coming from or is there some other place to look.
Also, if I change the global name like:
alter database rename global_name to test;
Then is comes out as 'TEST.CJ.COM'.
Since it is clearly ignoring my oracle parameters, it must be an OS level thing. And, since it has always worked for me, I never really questioned it. Now that Kathy has asked about it, I am sure there are many of us who are curious about it.
One more thing, I couldn't find any reference to it in the installation guide.
TIA,
John
