Re: Ridicolus Postgresql review

You are making a confusion here.

To be able to access remote servers in Oracle you use a DB-LINK, not a
SQL*Net (wich is just used to make a single, normal connection to an Oracle
Server).

Haven't read the article but from my Oracle days SQL*Net is the thingy
that lets you connect to multiple instances/databases from one
session(?).
   In fact if memory servers me correct it allows RI based on tables on
a remote server.  There was a command that allowed you to create a
database connection in the current 'instance' to other instances or
remote databases.
