followup of check invalid database link
If you need to check db link in another schema, you need to create code that run with that schema.
base on the example from yesterday, here is an extended version for the dba
CREATE FUNCTION dba_status
(owner VARCHAR2, db_link VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
status VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'create or replace function "'
|| owner
|| '".status(db_link varchar2) return varchar2 is '
|| 'x number;'
|| 'begin execute immediate ''select 1 from dual@"''
||DB_LINK||''"'' into x;'
|| 'return ''OK'';'
|| 'exception when others then return sqlerrm;'
|| 'end;';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'begin :1 := "' || owner
||'".status(''' || db_link || '''); end;'
USING OUT status;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'drop function "' || owner || '".status';
COMMIT;
RETURN status;
END;
/
SELECT
owner, db_link, dba_status (owner, db_link)
FROM dba_db_links;
OWNER DB_LINK DBA_STATUS(OWNER,DB_LINK)
