    Question

    Hi,

    I have tested that I am able to connect to the database in another server B from server A using SQLPlus. I need to use PL/SQL to do the connection too, in order to call the procedure in server B from server A.

    May i know how do I go about doing it please? Thanks!

    You can not connect to another database through PL/SQL.

    If you only want to call procedure residing in server B from server A, then you only need to create database link between the two database and call that procedure from within your session on server A.

    In addition to jmodic's comments, using PL/SQL - you can create a stored procedure on server A that has a call to the procedure on Server B using a dblink - and you can call that procedure on server A anywhere you want including any other PL/SQL unit, form trigger etc.,
