What is your question?
If it is in your title, then create a database link.
Read the link above and follow the links that are in "See Also" section.

It seems that the documentation server is down; will be up, hopefully soon so - check it now and then. (Also, for the future reference, Oracle documentation can be found at http://tahiti.oracle.com. Bookmark it!).

As of your question: Quote:
whenever any table in the remote database is updated then automatically in my schema it should be updated

Perhaps you should also check a materialized view (or an older "snapshot" term, depending on your database version which you didn't mention, I think). Materialized views can be created in a way that when the "source" table changes (i.e. records are inserted, updated, deleted), materialized view on your side reflects those changes as well. You can do that instantly (by refreshing the materialized view on commit (when changes in the source table are committed)) or periodically (similar to a "scheduled" job), on demand ("refresh it RIGHT NOW!") or - never.

Certainly; if people have managed to get to the Moon, why wouldn't you be able do create a trigger and update your tables? But, in my opinion, that's not the way it should be done.

It seems OTN is currently down, retry later or try the alternate address LittleFoot gave.

Yes you can write a trigger but a trigger is synchorneous and so if your remote (remote from the original table) is down the original table cannot be updated.
The solution depends on your environment and what you actually want to do.
- synchroneous / asynchroneous
- immediate replication / almost immediate one / deferred one
- ...

Please try to post in correct english, for many of us english is not the original language.
Avoid IM speak, make complete sentences.
