Access to Objects 

The SQL syntax elements for Oracle Version 7 and SAP DB Version 7.3 in SQL mode ORACLE differ, among other things, with regard to object access.

If an owner is not specified when a database object is accessed, and no object belonging to the current user exists with this name, the following procedure, different to the Oracle procedure, applies when the database object is accessed:

  1. SAP DB searches for this object in the PUBLIC synonyms.
  2. If the object is not found here, SAP DB searches for this object in the part of the database catalog of the DBA that the current user generated.
  3. If the object is not found here, SAP DB searches for this object in the database system administrator (SYSDBA) ‘s part of the database catalog.
