database-link

I have a need to create a database link that is a link to a schema on the same server. Is there a special keyword to use for this? ( like local or localhost )

I am not entirely sure what the name of the server is in tnsnames and that may be part of my problem.

This is for a complicated situation which involves a script that needs a database link to continue.
