I manually created a db link from 10g to 11g. When I query in the Sql prompt like this,

SELECT NAME,HOST,USERID,PASSWORD FROM SYS.LINK$;

I get the exact same output in both 10g and 11g databases.

But If I check in dbartisan, it shows dblink in 10g but not in 11g. I don't know the reason why it doesn't show up in dbartisan. So I get doubt whether I have properly re-created the dblink in oracle 11g from oracle 10g?

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/311

query DBA_DB_LINKS instead

Thanks. I had created the dblink as sys user. I dropped and re-created it. It is good now. Thanks.

- Never ever use SYS (or SYSDBA) but for maintenance purpose (startup, shutdown, backup, recover)
- SYS/SYSDBA is special
- SYS/SYSDBA is Oracle proprietary (try to open a SR/TAR starting with "i did that with SYS/SYSDBA" and you'll see the immediate answer)
- SYS/SYSDBA does not act like any other user
- When you use SYS/SYSDBA Oracle deactivates some code path and activates others
- Whatever you do with SYS/SYSDBA will neither validate nor invalidate the same thing with any other user.

NEVER EVER use SYS/SYSDBA for anything that can be done by another user.
Use SYS/SYSDBA ONLY for something that can't be done by someone else.

Michel
