One other piece to the puzzle, there has to be oid/ldap setup for the
databases and of course the password has to be the same in both databases.

Hi,
Are you sure it exists ? I've made tests and it does not work at least in
10.2.0.3.
sqlplus system/pass@db1

I've even verified in the documentation and I haven't found trace of it.

In my mind, if someone is doing such things in code, this is probably a
bad practice. Also I'm not sure it's a great idea from a security
point-of-view to allow such things. Anyone else have any thoughts here?

"implied database link"
Ok so a co-worker asks a question about an implied database link, i'm like
"huh".
so a database link is NOT created in the source database but the
userid/password are the same in both source and destination.
take for example
system on db1 and db2 has a password of x12345.
I do a select count(*) from dba_users@db2 while connected on db1 and it
connects and returns a result set w/o a db link being created.
I've been enlightened again of something new about oracle.
so the question posed is, for a named db link you do "close" it, how do
you close an implied link?
