Kevin - You might be specifying a database link that doesn't exist. The
connection string in the database link might be incorrect. The database link
might be owned by a different user and not be public. Do you receive this
message consistently every time you attempt to use the link, or is it
intermittent?

Does anyone know the most common reasons why a DB LINK would give me the
following error :
 
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
 
Both databases exist ....   And even though I get this error going from
Database A to Database B, the link I have between Database B and Database A
works fine.
