references user_group(company_code,bu_code,user_group,user_group_type)
I have another database 11g with a schema TMAPP.
Here I have created a database link 'to_dev' is connecting to the 10g db
using this I can connect and see the data from 10g TMAPP
I have created two views
create or replace view user_menu_privs as
select *
from user_menu_privs@to_dev
where user_group in
(select user_group from user_dst
where user_group_type='F');
create or replace view user_dst as
select * from user_dst@to_dev;
and I executed
delete from user_menu_privs
where menu_option_code=108;
I am getting the error
ORA-02069: global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation
after that I set the global_names in 11g as TRUE
then I am getting another error as
ORA-02085: database link TO_DEV connects to DEV.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM -- that means link is not wokring
Please help
Dennis

But you said
create a database link in 11g database with 11g database global name and put 11g database global_name=true.
and put 10g database golba_name=false;

That isn't what I said at all. Reread my first reply. The first part is a copy of what you had stated.

That is because when global_names is TRUE, the database link name MUST be same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to.
You need to drop the database link and recreate it using the global name of the database it connects to.
'link name MUST be same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to.' - I didn't say 11g.
And I didn't say 'put 11g database global_name=true' because you had already done that! 'after that I set the global_names in 11g as TRUE.
1. 11g - global_names MUST be TRUE
2. 11g - database link name MUST be the same as the global db name of the database to which the link connects to - 10g global db name
3. 10g - gloibal_names setting is irrelevant
