    Actually Desc is taking the table name from the datadictionary of the remote DB and describing the current DB table.

    Atleast U r lucky u r not getting other DB down as in my case....

    Hi,

    Unfortunately,it still does not work!!

    The current DB
    ---------------
    SQL> select * from dba_synonyms
    2 where SYNONYM_NAME='VW_HADAS_KURSIM';
    OWNER SYNONYM_NAME TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME DB_LINK
    ---------- --------------- --------------- --------------- -----------
    HADAS VW_HADAS_KURSIM VW_HADAS_KURSIM OVDIM
    PUBLIC VW_HADAS_KURSIM VW_HADAS_KURSIM OVDIM_HADAS

    SQL> select count (*) from user_objects@ovdim_hadas;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    12

    SQL> desc VW_HADAS_KURSIM;
    ERROR:
    ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found


    SQL> select count (*) from VW_HADAS_KURSIM;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    97918

    SQL> desc VW_HADAS_KURSIM@OVDIM_HADAS;
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    ZEUT NOT NULL NUMBER(9)

    KOD_MOSAD NUMBER(3)
    TEUR_KOURSE VARCHAR2(15)
    TEUR_MOSAD VARCHAR2(15)
    KOD_AGAF NUMBER(2)

    The DESC works only with the adding of the db link!

    The remote DB
    --------------
    SQL> select * from dba_synonyms

    Which user are you doing the DESC as on the local DB? Could it be that you are doing it as the user HADAS and so using the private synonym instead of the PUBLIC synonym? If so does the OVDIM database link exists?

    Nir :

    the object VW_HADAS_KURSIM is a synonym to the view VW_HADAS_KURSIM right? ( remote DB )

    Now wat is the underlying table for the view VW_HADAS_KURSIM ? ( remote DB )

    Build same type of structure (inculding View) on current DB with the user where you created DB Link.

    Then let me know.

    Thanks
    Abhay.

    Hi abhaysk,

    The mystery is still huge:

    The current hostname is hp64
    The current db is dev1

    I've created a demo user in another db (dev2) on the same host.
    Under the domo user i've created the same synonym and the same db link.
    And.... DESC works fine!!

    So,maybe there is a problem with dev1 db?

    I've checked several suspicious init*.ora parameters which appear in dev1 and not in dev2:
    db_domain = world
    service_names = dev1.world
    remote_os_authent = true

    I've changed them as dev2 , but the problem is still valid!

    I've also created the demo user on another host on another db and the things work fine.

    Mistery,isn't it??

    Nir :

    I will giv up.

    Might be mistery...or might be something we are missing.

    Well in my case it was describing the current DB table structure & more interestingly if current DB did not have Table name as that of Remote one then Oracle.exe of Remote DB would geterate errors and Windows will kill that process, hence shuting down remote DB ( Its more Stranger(Misterious) than Urs ).

    Might be Moderators(Pando,Marist89,Jmodic,ChisLong) can throw some light.

    Thanks
    Abhay.
