ORA-01729

database link name expected

Cause

A database link name did not follow the at-sign (@) in a reference to a table in a remote database.


Action

Correct the reference and retry the operation. The correct syntax for denoting a table in a remote database follows:

username.table_name@ database_name

Spaces before and after the at-sign (@) are optional.
