Hi Rachel

My understanding of the negative aspects of public synonyms is that they kick in as the number of distinct Oracle Users you have increases. My *experience* is much the same as yours - namely I almost couldn't care, however this is predicated on applications tracking users and not using a different Oracle account for each user. (typically we have 1-2 accounts per app). The archetype of application development on Oracle says that you have a different oracle account for each user (albeit probably OS authenticated). Mind you that same archetype says you can change the sql. I think that the drawbacks that steve has in mind don't apply to the majority of 3rd party apps.
