        While I understand quite well that one error situation shouldn't be generalised, I fail to see what should be the problem with views on public synonyms. Do they happen not to work on Oracle at all, on the SQL standards, on a specific version of Oracle? Is that by design or just a know bug (like undifferentiated NULLs or pointers or class == table at the SQL standards level)?

        There are somethings I trip over now and then, but quite often I find them to be either SQL or Oracle bugs at the conceptual level -- like when I wanted to store a historical series of storage allocation and usage by tablespace, with an enabled foreign key to dba_tables or something, and couldn't.
