Ron:
 
I thought you got it. The Global_name was still PROD, I just issued the alter 
to DEV. Select from global_name now shows DEV. Started a new session to the 
instance but I am still seeing the same results. I wonder if the instance needs 
to be cycled, will try that later. This would explain it, since other instances 
created the same way on the same box and other boxes do not show this behaviour 
and their global_name was altered, not sure how it got missed in DEV.
 
Thanks - Mike

phantom dblink 

Please respond to 
oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 







I routinely refresh my DEV instance with a backup of my PROD instance. After I 
test recovering PROD
on the dev machine I create a new control file and rename the instance to DEV 
with the following:

CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "DEV" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG

Now for the strange part. In DEV there is NOT a dblink for PROD but the query

select * from APP_TABLE@PROD ;

returns rows. I would expect a ORA-02019 error. The returned rows are actually 
coming from the DEV
instance and not PROD.

This isn't the end of the world for me by no means. The instance will be 
refreshed over the weekend
and I told the programmers there isn't a dblink to PROD and to not try. I just 
thought this was a
strange behavior and was wondering if anyone else had come across it.

Thanks - Mike
