There is this little known SQL command called "CREATE SYNONYM", warmly recommended by Mr. Steve Adams. If you execute command "CREATE SYNONYM DEPT FOR SCOTTT.EMP", your user will be able to type desc "DEPT" and get the full description of the desired table. You can even create public synonym, so that you don't have to do that time and time again. As Mr. Adams has correctly noted, there is a performance difference when you start using public synonyms. They can do wonders for your shared pool and name resolution algorithms.
