Troubleshooting
Problem
Creating a nickname against an Oracle synonym (in a Oracle database) fails with SQL0204N
Symptom
The 'create nickname' command fails with SQL0204N. For example, if 'otable' is an Oracle Synonym then the following command:
db2 create nickname mynick for otable
- DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a
valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned:
SQL0204N "otable" is an undefined
name. SQLSTATE=42704
Similar 'create nickname' command works against Oracle Tables and Views.
