CREATE SYNONYM
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
A SYNONYM or ALIAS is an alternative name for an object, mostly a TABLE or VIEW, which can be used just like the actual name in any SQL statement. With a synonym S_BOOK for the table BOOK, for example, you can write the following query:
SELECT s_book.id FROM s_book
To create the synonym, write
create.createSynonym("s").for_("t").execute();
To create a PUBLIC synonym, i.e. a synonym that doesn't belong to any schema or owner, write
create.createPublicSynonym("s").for_("t").execute();
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
createSynonym("s").for_("t")
