John,

I use them in a couple of applications and generally, they work fine.  A
slow network is a slow network.  Yes, it can hurt performance.  If you think
that your network cannot support your application, then find another way to
do it.

A couple of tricks to consider:

If you need to join tables in the remote computer, consider creating a view
in that computer and calling that view from your local machine.  It will
perform much better - basically, limit the joins from remote tables - bad
things happen.

Good Luck.

Tom

Subject: database links and performance

We are considering using database links in Oracle 9i but are concerned about
performance.

Presumably the network can be a bottleneck when using database links.

Does anyone have any useful experiences with performance of database links?
