ORA-00980

synonym translation is no longer valid

Cause

A synonym did not translate to a legal target object. This could happen for one of the following reasons:

  1. The target schema does not exist.
  2. The target object does not exist.
  3. The synonym specifies an incorrect database link.
  4. The synonym is not versioned but specifies a versioned target object.

Action

Change the synonym definition so that the synonym points at a legal target object.
