NOCYCLE
CREATE SYNONYM
Indicates that the sequence cannot generate more values after reaching the value assigned
to MAXVALUE (if sequence ascends) or MINVALUE (if sequence descends). The SQL
sequence generator uses NOCYCLE as the default if CYCLE is not specified.
Example In the following example, a sequence is used to generate unique customer numbers when a new
customer is inserted into the table pub.customer:
CREATE SYNONYM
Syntax
CREATE SEQUENCE pub.customer_sequence
START WITH 100,
INCREMENT BY 1,
NOCYCLE;
Creates a synonym for the specified table, view, or synonym. A synonym is an alias that SQL
statements can use instead of the name specified when the table, view, or synonym was created.
CREATE [ PUBLIC ] SYNONYM synonym
FOR [ owner_name.] {table_name | view_name | synonym } ;
PUBLIC
Specifies that the synonym is public: all users can refer to the name without qualifying it.
By default, the synonym is private: other users must qualify the synonym by preceding it
with the user name of the user who created it.
Users must have the DBA privilege to create public synonyms.
SYNONYM synonym
Name for the synonym.
FOR [ owner_name.] { table_name | view_name | synonym }
Table, view, or synonym for which SQL creates the new synonym.
Example The following example demonstrates the use of the CREATE SYNONYM statement:
CREATE SYNONYM customer FOR smith.customer ;
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM public_suppliers FOR smith.suppliers ;
Authorization
Must have DBA privilege or RESOURCE privilege.
