Database Link: Schema and Database Link Name
Use this page to choose a name for database link and the schema in which it will be stored. A database link enables you to connect to a remote database.
After you create a database link, Oracle Portal developers with the appropriate access privileges can choose it from Lists of Values when building database portlets and objects. For example, a developer can choose it to link to a table in remote database when building a form based on a table.
Other Oracle Portal users who have privileges to create providers (for example, members of the DBA group) can use this link when setting up access to another Oracle Portal installation on a remote node.
