Hmm...the only thing that comes to mind is that public synonyms can have a much larger impact on your library cache, particuarly with lots of concurrent users, due to the negative dependency objects that are maintained when public synonyms are implemented. Other than that (which can be significant), I can't imagine how much differently synonyms would be handled as far as public vs. private goes. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of ryan.gaffuri@xxxxxxx Sent: Thu 5/27/2004 3:22 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: public vs. private synonym internals I was on the phone with oracle support recently. We have ORA-600 errors in production pertaining to public synonyms and our IIS middle tier. Neither we nor Oracle know why. We were able to switch to private synonyms and it works for now. The oracle support person said there are internal oracle docs on the internals and the differences between them, but can't give it to me. Has anyone written any articles on the topic? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/ms-tnef -- File: winmail.dat ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
