Editing link properties

Public Database Link Editor provides you with an ability to edit link properties as easy as it can be.

Name

Here you can view and change the public database link name.

Owner

Here you can see the owner of the public database link.

Created

The field displays the date the object was created.

Last DDL time

Use the field to find the date when the last data definition language (DDL) operation was performed on the current object. The Last DDL time can help you to find if any changes to the object definitions have been made on or after a specific time.

Shared

Check the option to use a single network connection to create a public database link that can be shared among multiple users.

Connect string

Specify the service name of a remote database. If you specify only the database name, then Oracle Database implicitly appends the database domain to the connect string to create a complete service name. Therefore, if the database domain of the remote database is different from that of the current database, then you must specify the complete service name.

You also need to specify the User name and Password used to connect to the remote database

Authenticated (User name, Password) (Available for shared public database links)

Specify the username and password on the target instance. This clause authenticates the user to the remote server and is required for security. The specified username and password must be a valid username and password on the remote instance. The username and password are used only for authentication. No other operations are performed on behalf of this user.

To apply the changes, select the Apply Changes item in the Navigation bar or use Ctrl+F9 or Ctrl+F7 shortcut keys.

It is also possible to modify object properties without opening the object editor: use the Object Properties item of the popup menu of the selected object from the explorer tree.
