Synonym is alternate name for a table.
Use of synonyms avoids changes to programs when you migrate
programs from test to production.

Answer / vinod
A synonym is used to reference a table or view by another
name. The other name can then be written in the application
code pointing to test tables in the development stage and to
production entities when the code is migrated. The synonym
is linked to the AUTHID that created it.
