Should a non-cascade drop fail or just implicitly drop the synonyms?
I'm not sure which way I feel about this... Users with only 'select'
permissions on a given object can't currently create objects which
depend on that object (such that dropping the object would then require
'cascade'), can they?
I'd tend to think the synonyms should just be implicitly dropped. The
creator of the table doesn't necessairly have any knowledge (or care)
about synonyms which anyone with access to the table could have
created...
Thanks,
