Question

I am using following syntax for creating a private synonym of a table in oracle 10G:

create private synonym <synonym name>
for <schema name>.<table name>;

I am getting this error:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00905: missing keyword

Please guide me with correct syntax . I did research however i found syntax for public synonym only.

Answer 1

It works for me:

create or replace synonym SCHEMA1.TABLE for SCHEMA2.TABLE;

or for your schema

create or replace synonym TABLE for SCHEMA2.TABLE;

where SCHEMA1.TABLE or TABLE are synonym name.

Here there is a lot of examples.
