Does the table inventory.company exist?

Hi,

I tried to create a public synonym for a table in schema "inventory", but it
does not seem to be working, i.e., when I connect as another user, and try to select from the synonym it says table or view does not exist.

I would appreciate any help.

Aleem

Following are the commands from SQL*Plus:

SQL> connect inventory/invent_at_test_server <mailto:inventory/invent_at_test_server>
Connected.
SQL> create public synonym company for company;

Synonym created.
SQL> connect scott/tiger_at_test_server <mailto:scott/tiger_at_test_server> Connected.
SQL> select * from company;
select * from company

                        *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> select * from inventory.company;
select * from inventory.company

                        *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
