Re: HELP: owa app selecting across link failing

Can you add more information or an example? Are you saying that a stored procedure you wrote, that accesses an object via a database link, works in sql*plus but not when invoked via the web? OWA doesn't resolve any objects such as tables at run time, the pl/sql compiler does this.

If, on the other hand, you are referring to "tableprint" within OWA_UTIL not working with DB_LINKS, that is true. tableprint queries the local data dictionary for info on the table. When you created the view, that supplied the information it needed in the data dictionary. With 2.1, there exists a procedure in OWA_UTIL called cellsprint that takes a QUERY instead of just a table and can print that. This query can refer to any object (including those accessed via db links)
