Testing Synonyms

After you have created a synonym, it is good practice to ensure that it can retrieve data from a data source. You can quickly test this functionality on a sample of up to 50 rows.

You can test a synonym from either the Web Console or the Data Management Console.

1. From the Web Console sidebar, click Applications.

   or

   from the Data Management Console, expand the Server node folder.

   On the Web Console, the Applications page opens.

2. Expand an application folder.
3. Right-click a synonym and select Sample Data.

   The sample data is displayed.
