Are you sure the public synonym isn't pointing to an object in some other database 
thru a link?

Why do I keep getting this error even though this object is not a view??? I am in as 
the owner of the table, which has the DBA role to boot.

SQL> show user 
USER is "FARS_OWNER" 
SQL> select owner, object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name like 
'%ALIASTYPE%'; 

OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE 
------- -------------- ------------------ 
PUBLIC MFGALIASTYPE SYNONYM 
FARS_OWNER MFGALIASTYPE TABLE 
FARS_OWNER MFGALIASTYPE_VALUE_PK INDEX 

SQL> select * from MFGALIASTYPE; 

VA I ATTRIBUTE PROMPTNAME SORTORDER 
-- - ---------- --------------------------------------- --------- 
T F SN Temic Accelerometer SN 30 
T SN Actual Serial Number 10 
A F SN Accelerometer SN 40 
C F SN Customer SN 20 
D F SN Daughter Board SN 60 
S F SN Sensor SN 50 

6 rows selected. 

SQL> insert into MFGALIASTYPE values ('X', 'F', 'SN', 'Test', 80); 
insert into MFGALIASTYPE values ('X', 'F', 'SN', 'Test', 80) 
                * 
ERROR at line 1: 
ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view 

BTW, the synonym is for the table so other users can access it without adding the 
owner's name. I had already tried "insert into FARS_OWNER.MFGALIASTYPE ..." as well, 
but didn't include that here. 

Here's the table definition: 
CREATE TABLE "FARS_OWNER"."MFGALIASTYPE" ("VALUE" VARCHAR2(2), 
"ISDEFAULT" VARCHAR2(1), "ATTRIBUTE" VARCHAR2(45), "PROMPTNAME" 
VARCHAR2(45) NOT NULL ENABLE, "SORTORDER" NUMBER(2, 0)) PCTFREE 10 
PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 LOGGING TABLESPACE "TBL_TINY" ; 

ALTER TABLE "FARS_OWNER"."MFGALIASTYPE" ADD CONSTRAINT 
"MFGALIASTYPE_VALUE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("PROMPTNAME") USING INDEX 
PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 TABLESPACE "USER_DATA" ENABLE 
NOVALIDATE ; 

This is using 8.1.5 EE on NT 4 SP6a.
