SQL Server 2005/8 allows you to associate a synonym with a remote table (i.e. a table on a different instance – the reference is via a 4-part name, which includes the link server name). Does anyone know whether SQL Server 2012 allows a synonym to be directly associated to the Link Server name (rather than a table which exists on the target)
Looking at the Books Online for SQL Server Denali, there appears to be no change in syntax or usage for SYNONYM’s. Probably a safe bet to assume there will be no difference.
