Database Administrator (DBA) Question:
Explain the use of setting GLOBAL_NAMES equal to TRUE.
Answer:
Setting GLOBAL_NAMES dictates how you might connect to a database. This variable is either TRUE or FALSE and if it is set to TRUE it enforces database links to have the same name as the remote database to which they are linking.
