If you are running a stored procedure as a synonym on the same server, you must not specify the server name when creating the synonym.

Setup 1 synonym for 1 DB object. You wil not be using the synonym at all. What you will be doing is pulling the Server.Database.Schema from the synonym, then use the Server.Database.Schema in String SQL.

Below is the code I am using to extract the Server.Database.Schema from the synonym. You could use the Server.Database.Schema from the synonym to dynamically build a Synonym as needed then drop when done if you do not want to use string sql.

Declare @ServerToUpdt varchar(255)
,@DBToUpdt varchar(255)
,@Schema char(3)

Select @ServerToUpdt = Replace(Replace(Left(base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)-1),’[',''),']‘,”)
,@DBToUpdt = Replace(Replace(Substring(base_object_name,
charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)+1,
charindex(‘.’,base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)+1) – charindex(‘.’,base_object_name) – 1)
,’[',''),']‘,”)
,@Schema = Replace(Replace(Substring(base_object_name,
charindex(‘.’,base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)+1)+1,
charindex(‘.’,base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)+1)+1) – charindex(‘.’,base_object_name,charindex(‘.’,base_object_name)+1) – 1)
,’[',''),']‘,”)
From sys.synonyms Where name = ‘icc_SaveRptParamsCutAudit’

Print @ServerToUpdt
Print @DBToUpdt
Print @Schema

The Exec MySynProc @Param1=’A’, @Param2=’1′, @Param3=’Gold’ is on line 1186 of the stored procedure.

This stored procedure is used for a report in reporting services. The Synonym is a stored procedure used to update the application audit log table. I am updating the audit log from the report stored procedure because we are also saving the selected report parameter values in the audit log table.

The synonym works great as long as the Server defined in the synonym is different from the server the synonyn is being executed.

When the synonym is executed on the same server as defined in the synonym I get the following error:
Msg 201, Level 16, State 4, Procedure @Param1, Line 1186
Procedure or function ‘MyProc’ expects parameter ‘@Param1′, which was not supplied.

Can I not use a synonym with a stored procedure object on the same server as defined in the synonym?
Is there a system setting I need to set?
Do I need to clap my hands and spin 3 times?

For example:
Create the synonym on ProdServer.ProdDB
USE ProdDB
CREATE SYNONYM MySynProc
FOR ProdServer.ProdDB.MyProc;

Using the Synonym on a different Server works great
Log onto server ReportServer
USE ProdDB_Rpt
Exec MySynProc @Param1=’A', @Param2=’1′, @Param3=’Gold’

Using the Synonym on the Server defined in the Synonym generates an error
Log onto server ProdServer
USE ProdDB_Copy
Exec MySynProc @Param1=’A', @Param2=’1′, @Param3=’Gold’

Using the Synonym on the Server & database defined in the Synonym generates an error
Log onto server ProdServer
USE ProdDB
Exec MySynProc @Param1=’A', @Param2=’1′, @Param3=’Gold’

I am trying to create a synonym for first 3 part of the object (without object name itself).

For example, I have a linked server named “Legacy”. What I need is a “MyLegacy” synonym or alias for “Legacy.MyDatabase.dbo”, so I can use something like MyLegacy.Table1, MyLegacy.View2 etc.

I don’t want to provide an object name while creating synonyms (otherwise I will end up with huundreds of synonyms, one for each object).

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks.

Really you are doing wonderful job
Keep It Up
