" If the DBLink is created without a identified by, the user must
provide a=20
Password each time it is used. "
Not true IF the user id exists on both servers (with of course the same
password). And provided the user on remote DB has all the necessary
permissions to objects in the remote DB .
Example
DBLOCAL
Userid user1/user1
DBREMOTE
Userid user1/user1
Create public database link DBREMOTE using 'DBREMOTE ';
As user1
Select * from dual@(protected);
D
-
X
Tables 'test ' exists on DBREMOTE owned by user1 =20
user1 on DBLOCAL executes
Because user1 on DBREMOTE does not have any perms on test1 owned by
user2, he cannot select from the table
On DBREMOTE user2 does a SQL > grant all on test1 to user1;
NOW when user1 on DBLOCAL does a SQL > select count (*) from
test1@(protected); he will get results.
" How do you achieve seperation of schemas and privileges within the one

By the use of the object@(protected)
The @(protected) will tell the database to go to the object in the remote
database. YOU can have objects of same name in both DB 's...

How does the global name help ?
If the DBLink is created without a identified by, the user must provide
a=20
password
each time it is used. Also, how can the DB Link be used in automated
programs,
views, Snapshots etc
How do you achieve seperation of schemas and privileges within the one
database
[whether local or remote database] ?
