I have searched for the word synonym through the whole
PostrgeSQL 7.42 pdf documentation and all the ocurrences
are from functions redefinitions, and another PostreSQL
user has answered me that it does not support tables
synonyms, so I am with a big problem : How can I write
queries to suport different tables owners ?

Let me explain : I run the same application at different
database servers, from different enterprises, and their
DBA's can choose the name of the owner of the tables I
should query to. How to manage this ? Can I use a parameter
to define the table owner ? A macro ? Is there any
solution?

Thanks a lot.

Jayme.

I don't remember off the top of my head exactly how synonyms worked, but
I'm pretty sure PostgreSQL doesn't directly support them. You might be
able to emulate them with rules, though.
