Explanation
In distributed database queries, the @ symbol precedes database object names to identify them as remote objects. For example, in a query like SELECT * FROM @remote_server.database.schema.table, the @ indicates the table is located on a different/remote database server. This syntax varies by database system, but @ is commonly used for remote object references.
AI explanation
The @ symbol precedes a database link name that specifies the remote database in queries against tables on another database (as in Oracle's table_name@dblink syntax). This lets the query engine know the table reference resolves through a link to a remote system rather than the local one.
