Online Documentation for SQL Administrator for SQL Server
Synonyms
The Synonyms section of the Database Explorer is used for managing synonyms in the selected database.
Use the context menu to:
create a new synonym
edit the selected synonym(s)
drop selected synonym(s)
- rename the selected synonym
- create the object copy on the same server
- clone the object copy to another server
create and print the report
The list displays the existing database synonyms as a grid with the following columns: Schema, Name, Object Name, Object Type, Description. If more convenient, you can change the order of the columns by dragging their headers horizontally. See the Working with grid section of the SQL Administrator documentation to find out operations that can be performed with the grid.
To open a Synonym in the Synonym Editor, double-click it in the grid. Alternatively, you can right-click the synonym alias and select the Edit context menu item.
