CREATE SYNONYM

Updated on 2022-08-16 GMT+08:00

Function

CREATE SYNONYM is used to create a synonym object. A synonym is an alias of a database object and is used to record the mapping between database object names. You can use synonyms to access associated database objects.

Precautions

  • The user of a synonym should be its owner.
  • If the schema name is specified, create a synonym in the specified schema. Otherwise create a synonym in the current schema.
  • Database objects that can be accessed using synonyms include tables, views, functions, and stored procedures.
  • To use synonyms, you must have the required permissions on associated objects.
  • The following DML statements support synonyms: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXPLAIN, and CALL.
  • The CREATE SYNONYM statement of an associated function or stored procedure cannot be used in a stored procedure. You are advised to use synonyms existing in the pg_synonym system catalog in the stored procedure.
