In the question:

CREATE SYNONYM Emp

but in the explanation:

SELECT * FROM emp2

From where this emp2 came?!

But anyway it`s good question although I am using table aliases in the code structure more than synonyms.

in sql server 2012 I am able to create the synoname also I am able to select the rows from the table.

so this means this is only true in the older version of the sql server.

Thanks

Never gave it a second thought but figured deferred name resolution should be in play during synonym creation. Thanks for the question.

USE LOCALWORK

GO

CREATE SCHEMA HumanResource

GO

CREATE TABLE HumanResource.Employee

(

EmpID INT IDENTITY,

EmpName Varchar(10)

);

GO

CREATE SYNONYM Emp FOR Employee;

SELECT * FROM EMP;

Just to confirm, if the above way you tested, then no, it still gives you the error below error in Sql 2012 dev edition (which currently I am using)

Msg 5313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Synonym 'emp' refers to an invalid object.

-//edit- Post your code, may be it is something different or I must have understood it wrong.

Thank you, SJ, interesting one.

(I had selected 2nd choice, but still I wrote the code to test my analysis... I succeed :-). To be honest, never tried this explicitly.)
