Summary of Database Link Configuration Attributes
The following table lists the attributes available for configuring a database link.
Some of these attributes were discussed in the earlier sections.
Attributes marked with an asterisk (*) can be both global or instance attributes. All
instance attributes are defined in the
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
The two global configuration attributes are located in the
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
meaning any changes you make to them will automatically take effect on all
instances of the database link within your directory.
Values defined for a specific database link take precedence over the global attribute
value.
