You may want to look at how datapump handles this in 10g. If memory
serves (queue the Iron Chef music), datapump now uses the same
syntax as 'create user identified by values 'HASH');
I see two ways to accomplish this:
1. use Datapump to export the database links.
PARFILE would look something like this:
CONTENT=METADATA_ONLY
FULL=Y
INCLUDE=DB_LINK
you can then use datapump to import into your dev database.
2. I did a quick test of this with a database link and it worked.
select name,userid,passwordx,host from sys.link$;
I then constructed a create statement:
create database link <name> connect to <userid> identified
by values '<passwordx>' using '<host>';
I was able to use the link.
I think method 1 is a lot cleaner, however.

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement. I need to drop all the DB links in the
Development database and recreate them as of Production database.
How can i do that...
Am aware on oracle 9i we can use dynamic script to create dblink by
querying sys.link$. How can I over come this in 10g
