Database Link

This document provides steps to create a database link between a remote database named "testbed" with IP 10.0.0.247 and a local database named "orcl" with IP 10.0.0.36 to access data for user "mdcc" on the remote database from the local database. The steps are: 1) Check and set the db_domain parameter on the remote database; 2) Edit the tnsnames.ora file on the local database to add a net service for the remote database; 3) Create a public database link on the local database to connect as mdcc using the net service name.

Database Link
Scenario:-
Remote Database SID = ‘testbed’ # IP = 10.0.0.247
Local Database SID = ‘orcl’ # IP = 10.0.0.36
The data of user in the remote database you want to access - here e.g. ‘mdcc’

Procedure:-
First check the parameter db_domain in the init parameter file of remote database
(inittestbed.ora) has set or not by following sql in the remote database.
SQL> show parameter db_domain
1. If this parameter is not set then
Edit the inittestbed.ora file by adding one entry in it,
db_domain = “world”
2.Shut down the remote database ie “testbed”
3.Startup the remote database
4.Edit the tnsnames.ora file of local database ie “orcl” by adding
testbed247 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.247) (PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = testbed)
(global_dbname = testbed.world)
)
)

Connect to local database by system user


To create the database link run the following query-
SQL> create public database link datavsn
connect to mdcc identified by mdcc
using ‘testbed247’; */(where ‘testbed247’ is the net service name in the
tnsnames.ora file of local database)/*

Now any user in the local database can access the data of the mdcc user in the remote
database by running following query-
SQL> select * from tab@datavsn;

Note:- I) To drop the database link,


SQL> drop public database link datavsn;
