Database link question

hello,
the requirement is that schemaA of databaseA should be able to access tableB.schemaB (different schema) in databaseB. What type of database link is required here, public or private? Is it required to have a user called schemaA in databaseB with the same schema name?
Firstly, I created the same user in databaseB called schemaA. That only created a user called schemaA and no schema.
I then created a database link as schemA in database A, .
CREATE DATABASE LINK DB9
CONNECT TO schemaA IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'databaseB';
I am now trying to issue in schemaA the following statement and it won't work.
select * from tableB.schemaB@DB9
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-02063: preceding line from DB9

Hi dembal,
1. It's schema.table not table.schema.So your query should read: select * from schemaB.tableB@DB9.
2. Your dblink connects to schemaA on DB9. So of course, you can't connect to DB9 and look for a table in schemaB.

Create View from Database Links - 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...

CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT a.*
FROM [email protected] a;

 
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] 
If this fail then db_link is not ok! This step is absolute must to go any further step to!!!
 
2) when db_link is set, then your view should be named as:
CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT *
FROM schema_name.[email protected]; 
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...

Database Link question ! Please help me ....

Hi everybody,
I have some question about database link.
For example, I have 3 database, database 1 and database 2 connect together by database link db_link1, database 2 and database 3 connect together by database link db_link2.
I want to ask: Can I connect from database 1 to database 3 ? ( Of course don't use database link between database 1 and 3, just use database db_link1 and db_link2 )
Both db_link1 and db_link2 are public database link.
Can I restrict user access by 2 these public database link ?
Thanks a lot.

A database link has directionality-- it connects from one database to another database. It is not a bi-directional link.
Assuming db_link1 exists in database 1 and connects to database 2 and db_link2 exists in database 2 and connects to database 3, it should be possible to read data that is in database 3 from database 1 without creating a new database link. But you'd need some sort of intermediate layer in database 2 (i.e. a view in database 2 that queries an object in database 3) because you can't nest database links in a single SQL statement. Of course, you would almost never actually do this for a variety of reasons. The only time I've ever heard of someone using this sort of setup is if database 1 is a very recent version of Oracle and database 3 is a very very old version of Oracle such that a database link between 1 and 3 is not possible.
If you create a public database link, you cannot restrict access to that link short of potentially doing something with VPD. If you're creating a database link using a fixed username & password that would create a security issue, it would make far more sense to create private database links.

Database Link Question in JDev.

Dear all,
How can I get/read data from Oracle 9i database in Jdev 10.1.3 (Oracle 10g database). I've created the database link.
Thanks for advance.

It depends on what you want to do. What is your use case?
If you want to query the database you can open the connection and browse the database objects and table content. You can also choose to start a sql*plus session and write what ever sql and pl/sql you need against the database.
If you are writing a Java application you must configure a JDBC connection and write classes to encapsulate your queries. Please, see the JDBC section on OTN. It has lots of usefull examples on this huge topic.

Drop or alter database link question...

I have a database that uses a dblink to connect to a remote database to use a sequence for id's. The remote database is a 12 node rac cluster and when the database link was initially created the admin that created it only specified one of the nodes in the rac cluster in the comnnection description for the database link.
We want to change the link to include both rac nodes but we have a bunch of synonyms that point to the database link and I do not want to invalidate the synonyms.
If I alter the dblink as opposed to drop and recreate then will the synonyms become unusable or invaildated?
Thanks.

First, you cannot change the connection information for a database link using the ALTER DATABASE LINK statement. You'll need to drop and recreate the database link to do so. From the documentation
You cannot use this statement to change the connection or authentication user associated with the database link. To change user, you must re-create the database link.Second, are you saying that the TNS entry was specified explicitly in the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement rather than specifying a TNS alias (i.e. an entry in a tnsnames.ora file)? Normally, you'd specify a TNS alias when you create the database link in which case you could simply modify that alias rather than changing the database link.
Third, synonyms do not become unusable or invalid just because the underlying object does not exist
SQL> create synonym invalid_synonym
2 for not_a_user.not_a_table@not_a_link;
Synonym created.
SQL> select status from dba_objects where object_name = 'INVALID_SYNONYM';
STATUS
VALIDYou'll get an error if you try to use the synonym, of course, but it won't be invalid. As long as you fix the database link before someone tries to use the synonym, there is no issue.

Greek Data becomes Question Marks when passed through a Database Link

Hi All,
We have a 10gR2 sharing a Win32 Server with an MSSQL 2005.
Data transfers between these are set up using an HS Database Link.
All latin data is passing well, however we have some Greek in there and its transformed to question marks on the way.
Measures attempted so far:
1. I've set the NLS_CHARACTERSET of the 10g to AL32UTF8 . Entered non-Latin data manually to the 10g - works fine.
2. I've edited the relevant init.ora file to include the following:
HS_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN.AL32UTF8
HS_NLS_NCHAR = AL32UTF8
3. Restarted the DB and Listener.
Still question marks
Ideas?
Thanks
Tomer

HSODBC was never certified with NVARCHAR data types. Have a look at the Generic Connectivity Administrator's Guide. It list all supported data types and nchar/nvarchar/ntext is not listed. You can select from those data types, but there is no guarantee the content of those datatypes will be fetched correctly. There are no conversation routines that properly convert unicode content.
HSODBC has been desupported 15th of March. I strongly recommend you to use DG4ODBC 11.1.0.7. In addition in DG4ODBC the NVARCHAR/NCHAR functionality has improved a lot.
DG4ODBC V11.1.0.7 needs to be installed into its own Oracle_Home and it can be used with older Oracle database releases like 10.2.0.4 right out of the box; or you have to apply a compatibility patch to your Oracle database releas 9.2.0.8, 10.1.0.5, 10.2.0.3
Edited by: kgronau on Dec 10, 2008 8:42 PM
One thing I forgot to mention is the advantage of using DG4ODBC is it maps the nvarchar to Oracle nvarchar and thus there is no codepage translation required.
But please pay attention; use 11.1.0.7 not the base release 11.1.0.6 as on Windows based operating systems a high/low byte issue was fixed in 11.1.0.7 which is mandatory for NLS support.

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!

Question about using database links in Forms 10g

I have a form that uses a database link for the "Query Data Source Name," i.e. it is set to some_view@some_db_link
For some reason when I run a query using the DB link the query takes approximately 30 seconds. When I remove the link and go local the query takes about one second. Has anybody observed and addressed this issue before (without going local of course)?
Thanks,
Thomas

Let me first say that it is never a good idea to use a db link in the data source. It is better to create a synonym in the database and use this as the data source. If the db link changes, you only have to do this in the database, without recompiling forms.
create synonym some_view for some_view@some_db_link
This may already solve your problem. If not, than see if the query is also slow in sqlplus. You may have a problem in your connection between the two databases.

20 Index Restriction on Remote Tables (i.e. using Database Links)

The Oracle Database Administrator's Guides for 10g and 11g document a performance restriction that "No more than 20 indexes are considered for a remote table." If I go back to the 8i documentation it says "In cost-based optimization, no more than 20 indexes per remote table are considered when generating query plans. The order of the indexes varies; if the 20-index limitation is exceeded, random variation in query plans may result."
Does anyone have more details on this performance restriction? In particular I am trying to answer these questions:
1) Are the 20 indexes which are considered by the CBO still random in 10g?
2) Can I influence which indexes are considered with index hints or will my hints only be considered if they are for one of the "random" 20 indexes which are being considered by the CBO?
3) Are there any other approaches or work-arounds to this restriction assuming you need to select from a large remote table with more than 20 indexes (and need to perform the selection using 1 of those indexes to get adequate performance) or do we need to abandon database links for this table?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Interactive report performance problem over database link - Oracle Gateway

Hello all;
This is regarding a thread Interactive report performance problem over database link that was posted by Samo.
The issue that I am facing is when I use Oracle function like (apex_item.check_box) the query slow down by 45 seconds.
query like this: (due to sensitivity issue, I can not disclose real table name)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,b.col3)
, a.col1
, a.col2
FROM table_one a
, table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND a.col4 = 100
AND b.col5 = a.col5
table_one and table_two are remote tables (non-oracle) which are connected using Oracle Gateway.
Now if I run above queries without apex_item.checkbox function the query return or response is less than a second but if I have apex_item.checkbox then the query run more than 30 seconds. I have resolved the issues by creating a collection but it’s not a good practice.
I would like to get ideas from people how to resolve or speed-up the query?
Any idea how to use sub-factoring for the above scenario? Or others method (creating view or materialized view are not an option).
Thank you.
Shaun S.

Hi Shaun
Okay, I have a million questions (could you tell me if both tables are from the same remote source, it looks like they're possibly not?), but let's just try some things first.
By now you should understand the idea of what I termed 'sub-factoring' in a previous post. This is to do with using the WITH blah AS (SELECT... syntax. Now in most circumstances this 'materialises' the results of the inner select statement. This means that we 'get' the results then do something with them afterwards. It's a handy trick when dealing with remote sites as sometimes you want the remote database to do the work. The reason that I ask you to use the MATERIALIZE hint for testing is just to force this, in 99.99% of cases this can be removed later. Using the WITH statement is also handled differently to inline view like SELECT * FROM (SELECT... but the same result can be mimicked with a NO_MERGE hint.
Looking at your case I would be interested to see what the explain plan and results would be for something like the following two statements (sorry - you're going have to check them, it's late!)
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two),
sourceqry AS
(SELECT b.col3 x
       , a.col1 y
       , a.col2 z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM sourceqry
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5If the remote tables are at the same site, then you should have the same results. If they aren't you should get the same results but different to the original query.
We aren't being told the real cardinality of the inners select here so the explain plan is distorted (this is normal for queries on remote and especially non-oracle sites). This hinders tuning normally but I don't think this is your problem at all. How many distinct values do you normally get of the column aliased 'x' and how many rows are normally returned in total? Also how are you testing response times, in APEX, SQL Developer, Toad SQLplus etc?
Sorry for all the questions but it helps to answer the question, if I can.
Cheers
Ben

DATABASE LINK from 92060 to 102030 issue

Hi All,
Question on Database link:
Database A -- 10.2.0.3.0
Database B -- 9.2.0.6.0
Created database link from 10g to 9i and it works fine as expected.
I tried from BOTH server and also a CLIENT (SQLPLUS from my PC).
Created databas elink from 9i to 10g and it works fine on server
for example:
SQL> select sysdate from dual ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
SQL> select sysdate from dual@<<DBLINKNAME>> ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
However, I'm unable to connect using SQLPLUS.
for example:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
SQL> select sysdate from dual ;
SYSDATE
10-APR-07
SQL> select sysdate from dual@daspnprd ;
select sysdate from dual@daspnprd

Any known issues???
Please help!!

Make sure you are resolving with LDAP, (check the sqlnet.ora contents) and not the local tnsnames. Verify the entry at the OID and verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier.

Could you please let me know how to solve this and how to create such location with OMB*Plus?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi David,
Thanks a lot for the tip. Now I was able to use this and using a registered location.
OMBCREATE LOCATION 'X' SET PROPERTIES (TYPE,VERSION,CONNECTION_TYPE, SCHEMA) VALUES ('ORACLE_DATABASE','11.1','DATABASE_LINK','MY_SCHEMA')
OMBCREATE CONNECTOR 'REGISTERED_LOC/X SET PROPERTIES (DATABASE_LINK_NAME) VALUES ('MY_DBLINK') SET REF LOCATION 'X'
OMBCOMMIT
OMBCC '/MY_PROJECT'
OMBCAC 'DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION'
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER USE 'owb_user/owb_user'
OMBREGISTER LOCATION 'X' REUSE
OMBCOMMITBut now my question is the following.
I am having problems to import the metadata from X.
When create a module (source), I am able to make "data location" from location 'X' but when I want to import a table from location 'X' is not possible, because it shows as a plausible metadata location as "REGISTERED_LOC"
Could you please let me know how to use 'X' as metadata location?
Thanks!
Sebastián
