accessing multiple instances

Hi,
I need to access more that 1 instance, is there a way to start a new connection from a pl/sql script ?
eg.
inst1 has table I1
inst2 has table I2

I need to query I2 using columns from I1. It may sound unusual etc.etc. But this is not a design error :)

I have stored the field-values its just one column from I1 and want to connect to I2.
I thought that the following would work, but it didnt


declare
begin
execute immediate 'conn abc/abc@inst2 ';
end;
/

Want to run something like this


declare
curosr c is
select 1,2,3,4 from inst1.table1 where ---- ;
c_rec is c%rowtype;

begin
for c_rec in c loop
-- get the c_rec.1 value and query inst2

select c1 into holder1 from inst2.table2 where (.....);

end loop;
end;
/


Thanks

First, you have to learn how to read. By posting your question in a forum that explicitly says "Do not post questions here" you will never get an answer.

Effectively, you can't "create" a connection while in pl/sql unless you call a java stored procedure. The easier way to do it would be with database links. I would start with the documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com.

Sorry about the posting the question here didnt know this was not the right place.
