    Conection failure

    I am getting the following error when effecting consultations saw database link :
    SQL> select sysdate from dual@grp3;
    select sysdate from dual@grp3
    *
    ERRO na linha 1:
    ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist


    SQL> select sysdate from dual@grp3;

    SYSDATE
    --------
    25/07/07

    SQL>

    I made the two consultations with difference of some seconds. Somebody has a tip?

    ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

    Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being connected to does not exist.

    Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the executable for the server exists (perhaps "oracle" is missing.) If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the host name to a numeric IP address and try again.

    If it fails on the first time but it functions immediately afterwards then the problem is another one.

    What kind of connectivity do you have in between local and remote databases?

    Open two O/S sessions in the box where your local database is running; on the first one initiate a ping of the remote box, on the other one tnsping the target database a bunch of times. What do you see?

    Just in case check in local database box your TNSNAMES entry for remote database, if you see a Host Name for remote box replace it by actual TCP/IP address then, test again.

    Seems something got wrong with the connection, but that was temporary issue. If it does not happens again, I would not bother
