Everybody: My appication team is running a batch process against a database (db1) which accesses tables in another database on the same server (db2) via a db link. Starting today their process suddenly fails with ora-1012 pointing to the db2. I looked at the alert log and udump directory on db2 and found no errors there. I searched metalink and google and also did not find much info pertaining to my situation (oracle 9208 on AIX 5.3). Does anyone have any advice on that. This is a big production issue right now thank you Gene Gurevich -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
