    When using a dblink, the definition must also exists in TNSNAME.ORA at the serverside.

    when creating a DB*Link, the syntax should be :

    create database link mylink
    connect to user
    identified by pwd
    using 'connect_string';

    and this connect string must be in your tnsnames.ora, if not you get the famous 12154 error ...

    Hi,
    In init.ora file change global_names=false and source server and configure you tnsnames.ora to connect to the destination server.
