Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Using fully qualified table_name.database_object in
We use fully qualified table names to avoid confusion. Ever poke around in Oracle Apps (11i) databases? "OK...it references an object owned by APPS, but wait....that's a synonym that points to a table in INV..."
Synonyms can make your applications "portable" to another schema. However, in the 8 years that we've been growing our own applications, we've never "ported" to another schema. The one advantage that I can think of is that you can have multiple application schemas in the same database for testing purposes. Your developers could then reference whichever schema they want to use for testing via synonyms. However, I prefer to spend less time tracking down synonyms by not using them in the first place.

I would like to know if it is advocated to use fully qualified table_name.database objects in application code.
Example would be schema.table_name in a PL/SQL code.
I would like to know the Pros/Cons if there are any?
Thanks in advance.
