    Talking

    Hi all,

    Is it possible to enforce FK Constraints over a DB Link - I am going to create a synonym FACILITY which actually points to FACILITY@DATABASE2

    Can I implement a FK to this table synonym?? If so, what happens if FACILITY@DATABASE2 deletes one of the rows, and DATABASE1 has an FK to it?

    Thanks in advance...

    You cannot implement FK constraint over dblink. What you can do is to write a trigger mimicking the function of the FK constraint.

    This is what i was thinking from the very beginning. The trigger might be tricky on the other database, as it is being developed by another company, but this is my problem - not yours

    thanks for the answer
