Specifies whether metadata is queried for synonyms as though they are the original tables.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

In an Oracle OCI database, a synonym is an alternate name for a table or view.

When this connection property is set to True (the default), the server exposes synonyms as their own tables with identical metadata. Queries targeting these synonym tables query the same underlying Oracle OCI objects as the tables they are synonyms of.

When this connection property is set to False, the server does not list table and view synonyms. Since the server does not need to resolve which synonyms correspond to which objects in the Oracle OCI database, this improves metadata performance.
