Hello,
I would like to access the available synonyms via odbc.
If I use this code, I get the tables and views, but I can't find the synonyms:
Libname sqlserv ODBC Schema=DBO DSN=sassql;
Proc SQL;
Create Table Work_Cont_Dict As Select * From Dictionary.Tables Where Libname eq UpCase('sqlserv');
Quit;
* proc datasets gives the same result - only views and tables;
Proc Datasets Library=sqlserv;
*Contents Out=Contents Data=_ALL_ Details; * if I remove the comment, it gives me an error;
Run;
How can I get a list of available synonyms?
Thanks&kind regards
If I look through SAS/ACCESS doc, it seems there are only support for synonyms in Netezza and Oracle.
So my guess is that you nedd to use explicit SQL pass-thru to access those.

Thanks. I needed something like:
Proc SQL NoPrint;
Connect To ODBC (DSN=sassql);
Create Table Synonyms As Select * From Connection To ODBC
(SELECT * FROM SYS.SYNONYMS) Order By name ;
Disconnect From ODBC;
Quit;
