	| hi,
 
 i have created a synonym named test_synonym in test schema. the test schema has dba privileges.
 
 when i try to drop that particular schema i receive the following error:
 
 drop synonym test_synonym;
 
 ORA-01434: private synonym to be dropped does not exist.
 
 
 How can i drop this. i have tried to drop the synonym by logging into the sys user then too the same response.
 
 drop synonym test.test_synonym;
 
 ORA-01434: private synonym to be dropped does not exist.
 
 
 
 Thanks in Advance,

	| 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
