That is not a good way. Oracle does/recommends a create synonym so that either
a remote view or table can be treated as if it is a loacl table/view. This
takes care of select/insert/update/delete etc. I think that is a better way
of integrating remote objects in current database.
Of course, if there are some standards regarding remote database object, they
will take precedence over oracle style of syntax. But personally I think
oracle syntax is good enough. (I just check sql 92 syntax and it does have
provision for remote database access)
