Steps to create dblink:

1)If you are creating public dblink, you will need a user with the following permissions:

create public database link

drop public database link

If you are creating dblink, you will need a user with the following permission:

create database link

2) Check the value of global_names

If the value of the GLOBAL_NAMES initialization parameter is TRUE, then the database link must
have the same name as the database to which it connects.
Please note: global_names is required to be TRUE for replication.

SQL> set linesize 121


SQL> col name format a30
SQL> col value format a30

SQL> SELECT name, value


FROM gv$parameter
WHERE name ='global_names';

3) Determine database global name:

The GLOBAL_NAME is made up of the db_name and the db_domain, and the first element (before
the
first . in a global name is treated as the 'db_name' and the rest of the global_name is treated as
the 'db_domain'.

To find db_domain and db_name:


SQL> set linesize 121
SQL> col name format a30
SQL> col value format a30

SQL> SELECT name, value


FROM gv$parameter
WHERE name IN ('db_name', 'db_domain');

If db_domain is not set, it defaults to REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE, Please refer to below


note

for more information:


Note 578668.1 When Creating A Database Using DBCA, GLOBAL_NAME Includes The Domain
Suffix
REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM By Default

To find global_Name:
SQL> col value$ format a40
SQL> col comment$ format a40
SQL> SELECT *
FROM props$

WHERE name LIKE '%GLOBAL%';

If you want you can change it using:

ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO <The name you want to change it to>;

SQL> SELECT *

FROM props$

WHERE name LIKE '%GLOBAL%';

3) Create the database link:

SQL> CREATE [SHARED] [PUBLIC] DATABASE LINK <link_name>

CONNECT TO CURRENT_USER
USING '<service_name>';

Please note that:

* The single quotes around the service name are mandatory

* The service name used above must be in the TNSNAMES.ORA file on the server. If it does not exist
you can create one like below:

connection_link =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Destination host name>)(PORT = 1521))
)(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = <Destination service name>)


))4) Make sure that the database link is created:

SQL> set linesize 121


SQL> col db_link format a20
SQL> col username format a20
SQL> col password format a20

QL> col host format a20


SQL> SELECT * FROM user_db_links;
5) Make sure that the database link woks fine:
