We need 7.3.4 to access 9.2 and vice versa. We created views with database links on the 8.1.6 that way the 7.3 and the 9.2 can get to each other's data.

You can't create views in the middle db that point to 7.3.4 objects, because the dblink will still complain. Materialized views would work if your data is relatively static. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Smith, Ron L.

The applications use Dblinks which do not work between 7.3 and 9.2. Has anyone run across this problem and cam up with a solution? Thanks!
