Create View from Database Links - Question

Question

Question
I'm missing something simple.
I'm trying to create a view, from a Database Link.
CREATE VIEW view_name
AS SELECT a.*
FROM schema.tablename@dblink a;
When I run this in the SQL Commands window.
I get this error message.
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated...

Answer 1

<i>CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT a.*
FROM [email protected] a;
</i>

1) User (schema) which is creating view must have proper db_link to source database. For that try this for testing purpose:
select 1 from [email protected]<br>
If this fail then db_link is not ok! This step is absolute must to go any further step to!!!
<br>
2) when db_link is set, then your view should be named as:
CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT *
FROM <b>schema_name</b>.[email protected];<br>
please pay attention to "schema_name", because from remote side every table is in some schema so it really need declaration of owner schema.

Hope this helps...
