Prior to Oracle 8.1.7, I created a database link "db1link", the name in the user_db_links was "db1link.world", so the suffix was automatically provided when the link was created as well when it was used.

After upgrading to Oracle 8.1.7, I couldn't use the existing database link without explicitly providing .world suffix, and when created, the .world was not added.

The db_domain parameter was not defined in the init file in both cases.

Can somone tell me if there is a difference in 8.1.7 related to this.
