SQL & PL/SQL

Hello all,


I am writing a stored procedure in one database and in it i need to fetch the data from another database and need to do some caleculations.

for this i can use Db_link..But in our organization they are ruling out the usage of DB_links. and they are not creating the DB_links?

is there any other way to to the same activity ?


Thanks,
Venkat Vadlamudi.
