Cannot drop public database link

Hi all.
Just trying to drop some old database links and getting the following:
SQL> select * from dba_db_links where host = 'V638';
OWNER DB_LINK USERNAME HOST CREATED
PUBLIC V638 SYSADM V638 23-SEP-04
SQL> drop public database link V638;
drop public database link V638
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02024: database link not found
There was another db link in there called V638.WORLD and when I issued
drop public database link v638 it removed that one with no errors...
Any way I can get rid of this other one?
Version info:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 9.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production

Thanks

SQL> alter database rename global_name to test.world;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database rename global_name to test.world;

  • Cann't Drop public database link

    I am not able to drop public database link .

    Can anyone help to resolve this problem? It is a Production Database and it's a Urgent .

    You say:
    I already given syntax of creating Public database link.
    But you should give real details (exact statements and exact results) to make it clear what you are attempting and what your problem is.
    Please show:
    - The CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK statement (obscuring the password, of course) and its result (i.e. success or failure message)
    - From each of schema1 (working) and schema2 (not working):
    - - The result of SELECT USER FROM DUAL;
    - - The result of SELECT USER FROM DUAL@DB_TST;
    - - The result of SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ALL_OBJECTS@DB_TST WHERE OWNER = 'B1';
    In the meantime, an observation.
    You said:
    I create a public db link from schema1 to other database using below command --
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK DB_TST
    CONNECT TO B1 IDENTIFIED BY password
    USING 'SPPROD'Note that any user (in caps: ANY USER) on this database can use this link to connect to database SPPROD as B1 without knowing the password - because you put the credentials in the link.
    If you have a PUBLIC database link with credentials, like you do here, you have a serious, glaring security exposure. You really, REALLY should not do this. Use a private database link (available only to the user that created it) or do not put credentials on the link (so that any user using that link is using his own credentials to connect to the remote database).

  • A question about CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK and ORA-12154 error

    Dear all,
    I have a problem about public database link creation and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. I have the following connection parameters in my
    tnsnames.ora file:
    DGPAPROD.WORLD =
         (DESCRIPTION =
           (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY=tcp.world)
              (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ORASR001)(PORT=1521)
           (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DGPAPROD))
    ...Having the above mentioned parameters I can connect to this remote database directly in a SQL*Plus shell:
    $ sqlplus username/[email protected] works pretty well and the connection is established without any problem.
    Now, what I would like to do is to create a public database link to this remote database in order to avoid the user/connection switching for viewing the
    content of this database. I proceeded according to the syntax indicated in the Oracle online documentation:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_5005.htm#SQLRF01205
    Therefore I run the following in order to create a public database link
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING 'DGPAPROD.WORLD';Apparently there is no error and the link is created successfully. However it cannot resolve the remote host and whenever I run the following query
    (myenterprise is the name of a table in that remote database)
    SELECT *
    FROM myenterprise@SR001_dblink
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedWhat causes this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Dariyoosh

    You must have defined DGPAPROD.WORLD in tnsnames.oar on server where you DB is runnig.Hello there,
    Thanks a lot for this nice solution. In fact I had to add the connection parameters into the tnsnames.ora file of the server on which the link was created (not the tnsnames.ora of my oracle client stored on the localhost)
    After a bit googling I found another solution that allows to create the database link:
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SR001_dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED BY password USING '(DESCRIPTION =  (ADDRESS_LIST =  (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY=tcp.world)
    (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ip_adresse)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = GPAPROD)))';Thanks a lot for your help!

    am i have to make any entry in the tnsnames.ora?
    thanks & regards

    You have to remember that when you access a dblink, the database where the link is defined is acting as a client to the database to which the link points ... exactly the same as if you you were using sqlplus on the machine hosting the db where the link is defined. In other words, given:
    Host 'Host-src', with database 'db-src', with a dblink 'lk_target'
    Host 'host-trgt', with database 'db-trgt'
    When you connect to db-src and access lk-target, db-src is now acting as a client to db-trgt. Exactly as if you had opened sqlplus on host-src and connected directly to db-trgt. So, given the above scenario
    host-src$> sqlplus scott/tiger@db-src
    sql> select * from emp@lk_target;when you execute that SELECT to the link, the same tns considerations are in effect as if you had
    host-src$> sqlplus scott/tiger@db-trgtThe same tnsnames.ora entry, on the source machine, is required for both.

  • ORA-31600 when trying to view SQL DDL for a created public database link

    I created and committed a public database link and I can access the external database.

    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Is this because of a bug in SqlDeveloper or because the db_link and host parameters have 33 characters?
    I'm using sql developer 1.5.3, build MAIN-5783
    tx,
    Roger Vermeir

    It's probably the length; really all sqldev does is calling:
    select DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl('DB_LINK',:NAME,:OWNER) FROM dual;So if you call it a bug, it's a database bug in the DBMS_METADATA package.
    But if you work with identifiers over 30 chars, I'd say that's a bug on it's own...
    FWIW, I can't reproduce this on our 10g DB; are you on 9i?

  • Query the column names from Public database links

    Greetings,
    I would like to retrieve the list of all the column names from a public database link. A regular ALL_TAB_COLUMNS doesn't seem to be working.
    Thanks
    John9569

    Hi,
    I think your DBA needed to create a synonym for you to have access of that remote database view.
    CREATE SYNONYM synonym_name
    FOR view_name@db_link;Then you can find the column names by
    DESC   synonym_nameGuru's , please correct me If I am wrong.

  • Public Database Link

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle 10g.
    I created one Public database link as :
    i created this database link by connecting ora1.
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "ora2_1" CONNECT TO CURRENT_USER
    USING 'ora2';
    When i run the select query i am getting error. as:
    i run this select query by connecting ora1 database.
    SQL> SELECT * FROM C_UPDT@ora2_1;
    SELECT * FROM C_UPDT@ora2_1
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    ORA-02063: preceding line from ora2_1
    What could be the problem.
    Thanks

    Hi..
    I want to use that link for all schemas existed in ora2.so, i didnot specify the username, password.
    >
    The database link connects to the only one schema per db link in the target database.If you specify PUBLIC, then all the schemas in the source database (where the db link is created) can use and access data through it.So, if you want to create public database link for all the schemas in the target database ORA2, then you will have to create as many as schemas are present in ORA2.

  • Restriction on accessing public database link

    How to restrict certain users from accessing public database link.

    ravi02, sb has pretty much nailed the answer in that if you make the link public then anyone can use it. However, is the link in question a fixed user link or a current session user link? With a fixed user link then whatever access is granted to the fixed user is available to any user who has access to your instance. On the other hand if each user is required to have their username created on the remote instance then object and role grants issued on the remote instance can still limit what objects a user may reference.

  • Retrieve password from public database-link

    In the past we have created a public database-link to another database. Unfortunately we forgot the password and want to have it back. Sice the database-link is public, the password can not be found in user_db_links.
    Is it possible to retrieve a password from a public database-link?

    Hi,
    I know resetting in an Option for you but in worst case. Coming to the point you can get from "sys.link$" But how far will work on 10g verison did not checked. Try and see
    Ahh. sorry Why you try "select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(’DB_LINK’,’TEST’,user) from dual
    it will give the script. If the password in encripted for 10g try with "link$" it will work.

  • Export PUBLIC database link

    Hi there,
    Possibly overlooking something but can I export a public database link using SQL Developer?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    Public synonym can not be exported and never exported even at FULL Export also. . You can get them from "dba_synonyms". I suggest that you create so customer script .
    select      'create public synonym ' || table_name || ' for ' || table_owner || '.' || table_name || ';'
    from      dba_synonyms
    where
         owner='PUBLIC' and table_owner not in ('SYS', 'SYSTEM')

  • Public database link username

    Gentlemen,
    I would like to recreate the public database links with new username and password. Prior to that, I want to know which user the current public database link in connecting to.
    The dba_db_links table shows only the user name for private database links. Where can I find the username for public database link.
    e.g.,
    SQL> create public database link abc.domain.com connect to targetuser idenitified by targetpassword using 'abc.doman.com';
    Where I find the information about targetuser; it is not shown in dba_db_links table for public database links.
    Thanks

    This indicates that the connection information (username/password) was not specified when the database link was created.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/ds_admin002.htm#ADMIN12154
    This implies that if user A on the local database tries to use this link, then the same account (i.e. A) with the same password exists on the remote database - i.e. all of the users on the local database that use this link are duplicated on the remote database as well.

  • Cannot DROP a Database

    While i was creating a database(10g Release 2) using CREATE DATABASE command, it error out saying
    ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
    ORA-00301: error in adding log file '/u03/oradata/redologs/redo3a.log' - file

    Try removing the files you created in your create database command. You should be able to look in the directories you were directing your output to and spot the newly created files that you want to remove.
    There is also a reuse keyword that can be placed on many of the files in the create database command that will allow writing over existing files but I would avoid it and explicitly remove them rather than take a chance on reusing the wrong file.

    Hello Barbara,
    I agree with you that if db link exist I should be able to drop it. If you look into my first reply there is complete select from user_db_links. Select from dba_db_links are the same because I haven't any others db links. I try to drop the db link as owner or as sys. I do not need to think about drop with name "qwer.cscargo.cz" because is wrong (our inner domain is "in.cscargo.cz"). The only difference among others db links is that qwer have "current_user".
    DB_LINK USERNAME HOST
    CARGODB.IN.CSCARGO.CZ CARGO_ADM cargodb
    LMDB.IN.CSCARGO.CZ CARGO_ADM lmdb
    QWER.IN.CSCARGO.CZ CURRENT_USER speisdb
    SPEISDB.IN.CSCARGO.CZ CARGO_ADM speisdb_rac
    There could be one problem. I created the db link when my db have name "speisdb". I rename my db (using rman - duplicate db) to "speisdev". Could be this source of problems?
