Question

The typical syntax for creating a db link is as follows:

create database link remote_db_link 
connect to remote_user 
identified by remote_password 
using 'remote_db'

But I’d like my DB link owned by another account after it’s created. Is there a way to do this?

The following does NOT work:

create database link anotheruser.remote_db_link 
connect to remote_user 
identified by remote_password 
using 'remote_db'

Restrictions on DBLinks – You cannot create a database link in another user’s schema, and you cannot qualify dblink with the name of a schema.
