Error occurred when using db link in procedure

Question

Hi
I have a problem. As COLL_OWNER, I failed to compile this procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Arch_Session_Order_Queue
IS
-- declarations
BEGIN
-- many lines
SELECT COUNT (1)
INTO v_wols_count
FROM [email protected];
-- many lines
END;
The error says "PL/SQL: ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid"
But when I run it as COLL_OWNER like that,
SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [email protected]
I get the result.
Why that happens? How to resolve the problem?
Appreciate your advice.
Kevin

Hi Jens
Here is the result
SELECT * FROM [email protected] WHERE synonym_name='ORDER_QUEUE;
OWNER SYNONYM_NAME TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME DB_LINK
OMDBPP_OWNER ORDER_QUEUE ORDER_QUEUE WOLSPP.WORLD
SELECT owner, object_name, object_type, status
FROM [email protected] WHERE object_name='ORDER_QUEUE';
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE STATUS
OMDBPP_OWNER ORDER_QUEUE SYNONYM VALID
The ORDER_QUEUE on O9IPRD.WORLD is a synonym that points to the real table.
The way that happen is that we have Oracle 10g. The business logic needs to use Oracle 8.1.5 database. Oracle10g cannot talk to Oracle8.1.5. We created an Oracle 9i database having the synonym that points to the real table of Oracle 8.1.5.
I am wondering why I can get the result in SQL but failed to get procedure work.
Thanks,
Kevin
