It's for a summer research project at university I worked on last
summer and am continuing my research this summer. I'm basically
working on multi-database querying, I've been experimenting mainly
with Oracle, MySQL and Postgres for the time being. I've never used
synonym's before but I googled them to get the basics. I noticed the
owner for V$SESSION is 'public' but I still can't see it in the object
Browser (I can however see it when I log in on the command line/SQL
Plus). So anyway I queried V$SESSION but it didn't tell me anything
new, a extra tuple gets added showing my application connected when it
is, and then the tuple disappears when my application disconnects!
