I don't think that "global db links" created by using the same
username/password pair
across all databases would satisfy auditors -- it wouldn't satisfy me.
a. That would mean an account would have the same password in all the
databases {ie, all
the databases connected by dblinks using that account}
b. I cannot be flexible in account names. By "flexible", I mean that I use
database link names to identify which database they connect to and
account names used by the database links to identify where they came from.
