The Oracle distributed database management system architecture lets you access data in remote databases using Oracle Net and an Oracle Database server. You can identify a remote table, view, or materialized view by appending @dblink
to the end of its name. The dblink
must be a complete or partial name for a database link to the database containing the remote table, view, or materialized view.

Restrictions on Distributed Queries Distributed queries are currently subject to the restriction that all tables locked by a FOR
UPDATE
clause and all tables with LONG
columns selected by the query must be located on the same database. In addition, Oracle Database currently does not support distributed queries that select user-defined types or object REF
data types on remote tables.
