The Synonym Dialog
|

|
|
*********************************
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the *Synonym* dialog to substitute the name of a target object with a user-defined synonym.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The *Synonym* dialog organizes the development of a synonym through the *General* tab. The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

|
|
||
|
|
Use the fields in the *General* tab to identify the synonym:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to specify the alternate name for the target object. The name will be displayed in the *pgAdmin* tree control.
|
||
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Owner* to select a role.
|
||
|
|
* Select the name of the local schema in which the synonym will reside from the drop-down listbox in the *Schema* field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the definition panel, identify the target:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Target Type* to select the the type of object the synonym references.
|
||
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Target Schema* to select the name of the target schema.
|
||
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Target Object* to select the name of the target object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your entries in the *Synonym* dialog generate a SQL command (see an example below). Use the *SQL* tab for review; revisit the *General* tab to make any changes to the SQL command.
