dblink problem: I am connecting to a remote server and run a functions that calls another one using db_link. It fails with the error message is 08001 - could not establish connection. When the function is located in a local server - it runs fine. The connection string is: 'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 .....' The following were tried but did not help: 'host=localhost' and even providing the real target server ('host=tlvl0390') did not help. Happens on WIndows as well as Unix Can you help?
