Copy and paste exactly what you did from start to error.
In other words post a test case we can reproduce.

i have logged in as user named TEST. DBA privileges has been assigned to TEST user. These are the steps i followed

CONNECT TEST/TEST

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TEST_SYNONYM FOR TEST_TABLE;

Synonym Created.

Now i have created another Synonym for the same table TEST_TABLE

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TEST_SYNONYM1 FOR TEST_TABLE;

Synonym Created.

Now when i try to drop the first synonym TEST_SYNONYM. I received the following error.

DROP SYNONYM TEST_SYNONYM;

ORA-01434: private synonym to be dropped does not exist.


But when i tried to drop using TOAD. The synonym is dropped.

I like to know why this error occured when i try to drop from command prompt.

Thanks in Advance,

Seenu

You created a public synonym so
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM TEST_SYNONYM;
