Connection to the remote database

Question

I met one problem about connection to remote database. the version of Oracle8i I used is 8.1.5. I try to create a database link to a remote database. In the document of Oracle8i(8.1.5) there is an example:
CREATE DATABASE LINK sales.hq.acme.com
CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED BY tiger
USING 'sales';
SELECT * FROM [email protected];
When I used this same way as following,
DROP DATABASE LINK drugnet.cohpa.ucf.edu;
CREATE DATABASE LINK drugnet.cohpa.ucf.edu
CONNECT to userid identified by mypassword
using 'drugnet';
(or using 'drugnet.cohpa.ucf.edu')
select * from [email protected];
the db link was created and I wanted to query and then I got an error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link DRUGNET.COHPA.UCF.EDU connects to DRUGNET
This message means the name of db link should be the same name as the database to which it connects. but I did it according to this way. This message really confused me.
Somebody suggested me to use the following way, but it didn't work:
create database link myName
connect to myUser Identified by mypassword
using 'servic name'
Can anybody give me some clues?
Thanks a lot

If you could change the policy file within the Applet then there'd be no point having security restrictions - the Applet could just assign whatever permissions it wanted!
The usual way of giving an Applet extended security permissions is to sign it. Have you tried that?
