Default Accessing two Oracle databases - 10-30-2007 , 12:35 PM






Is it possible to access two different Oracle databases located on
two separate servers within a tool such as Oracle SQL Developer or
PL/SQL Developer simultaneously?

Define two connections in SQL Developer. Then double click on each of
them. You will have two panels in SQL Developer, each connected to a
different instance. You cannot have one panel simultaneously connected
to two different instances.

HTH,

I've managed to do this on other tools with tricky synonym & dblink
usage, but generally more trouble than it is worth, and slow. You
might need a third schema to mash it together.

In the '80's I saw a tool that could directly join across database
engines.

What is it that you want to achieve?

A join across tables in different databases?

And in the 90s i heard of ODBC.
