I didn't mean to suggest that SQL/MED on its own could be used to make SYNONYMs, but rather that given SQL/MED, perhaps we could reconsider some sort of CREATE SYNONYM functionality to go along with it. A major argument against CREATE SYNONYM in the past was that we wouldn't be able to create synonyms representing remote objects because we couldn't access remote objects. With SQL/MED that's no longer the case, so perhaps that argument no longer applies. - Josh / eggyknap
