Suppose a DBA created a public synonym for a table and named it hr. The user also created a table with the same name hr.



If a user performs a query like the following statement:



select * from hr; 


What will be returned by the query?



Whose table values will be shown?




  • The records of the public synonym

  • The records of the table
