It depends on so many things and some are not technical ones that no one can tell you.

He was talking about db down time issues. I prefer dblink because that's the one i'm familiar with.

What is the relation between the choice and db downtime issues?

To put it another way - how is either approach going to work if the other DB is down?

I doubt that folks who own this other DB containing foreign exchange rates will give you username/password access into their DB that is required to make DBLINK succeed.

@cookiemonster

that's exactly what was in my mind when this guy was explaining to me about downtime issues regarding db link connections. But I did not say it because I have no idea about web service. hehe

@blackswan

Why not? if they will just limit my access into viewing their foreign exchange tables.

will you give me a username & password to YOUR Production DB so I can monitor just the DB's performance?
