Explain what are synonyms used for?



Explain what are synonyms used for?..

Answer / Nupur Tandon

Synonyms in Oracle serve several purposes: 1) They provide a means to hide the complexity of the underlying object by providing an easier-to-remember name. 2) They allow users with different privileges to access the same data through their own synonym instead of directly accessing the original object. 3) They enable schema consolidation, as multiple schemas can reference the same underlying object using their respective synonyms.
