Jared "Feldhausen, Hans" To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <HFELDHAUSEN@G cc: EICO.COM> Subject: synonym for a user-defined data type? Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] om 12/18/01 06:00 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L We're working with Oracle v8.1.6.2. How can we declare a synonym for a user-defined data type? We would like to create a public synonym for a user-defined data type so that when this data-type is created under one schema it is accessible to all schemas without having to prefix it. TIA!
