We have recently encountered a problem that I'm hoping someone can help. We are using 10G Forms and Reports against a 8I database (DB1) which has a link into another 8i Database (DB2).

DB2 has been upgraded to 10G. The application works fine but when I try to compile the forms in form builder I get an "ORA-03115, unsupported network datatype or representation." error.

The error occurs where the code in the form references the link directly. Other code where we created views to hide the link name works fine. BTW Same code works fine in SQL Plus 10G & Toad.

I have tried changing the type of variables & different columns but that did not help.

Thanks in Advance,
Ralph

You're in the murky waters of unsupported functionality.
Oracle does not support db links between 8i and 10g (if you really want to do it the advice is to go via a 9i instance).
If your views fix it then that'd be one way to go. Otherwise I think you're going to have to upgrade the 8i to 10g.
