Building a form based on a synonym that points to a database link
Hello
Finally I got APEX 3 installed on our test server. I am starting to work with it and I faced my first problem...
I need to build an application that will query and maintain data stored in another database server. This is because we were not allowed to install APEX in the production server. So I created a schema DEV_USER (which I associated with the workspace). In this schema I created a private database link my_link and a synonym:
create synonym the_table for the_table@my_link
I am trying to create a form to query and maintain that table via the synonym but I am not succeeding. The wizard does not work as the synonym is not listed in the table list. Then I created the form manually, creating the items, the Automatic Row Processing process etc. When I run the page I get the error Error ORA-01403: no data found.
Is it possible to use APEX in this scenario (accessing synonyms that point to database links)? What is the recommended approach in this case?
Thanks
Luis
