RE: tables with no synonyms

Along with the several good answers to this thread, I'll point out a couple of "gotchas": The subject of the e-mail says "tables" but the original query was linking to DBA objects. The first question is: you are looking for missing synonyms for which object types? Synonyms for views, tables, sequences, procedures, functions, packages, materialized views? Second question is: are the synonyms supposed to have the same names as the objects they are pointing to?  

See the comment lines in this query:  

column object_name format a30
select

   a.owner, a.object_name, a.object_type  from
   dba_objects a
 where
   a.owner = '&BASE_OBJECT_SCHEMA'

• choose the appropriate object types for the "base object" and a.object_type in ('FUNCTION', 'MATERIALIZED VIEW', 'PACKAGE', 'PROCEDURE', 'SEQUENCE', 'TABLE', 'VIEW') and not exists (select null from dba_synonyms b where b.owner = '&SYNONYM_SCHEMA' and a.owner = b.table_owner and a.object_name = b.table_name
  • include this line if the synonym must have the same name as the
  • "base object" and b.table_name = b.synonym_name ) order by a.owner, a.object_type, a.object_name ;

Assuming I've understood the question correctly, you can just take the objects (including program units) that are owned by user A, and subtract (MINUS) the synonyms owned by B that reference those objects in A.  

select object_name, owner from dba_objects where owner = 'A' minus
select table_name,table_owner from dba_synonyms where owner = 'B' /
