Could not find table/view VIEW_COLUMNS in schema PUBLIC

[former_member315777]

Hello,

For no particular reason I cannot access anymore the public synonym 'VIEW_COLUMNS' with any user. (even with SYSTEM)

All other synonyms remain accessible.

Here the errors I get:

select * from  PUBLIC.VIEW_COLUMNS;

11:37:17 (SQL Editor) Could not execute 'select * from PUBLIC.VIEW_COLUMNS' Error: (dberror) 259 - invalid table name: Could not find table/view VIEW_COLUMNS in schema PUBLIC: line 1 col 22 (at pos 22)

But the following queries return appropriate values:

select * from  SYS.VIEW_COLUMNS; -- is Ok

select * from "PUBLIC"."SYNONYMS" where synonym_name = 'VIEW_COLUMNS';

Others synonyms are still accessible:

select * from  PUBLIC.VIEWS; -- is OK

select * from  PUBLIC.USERS; -- is OK

When trying to recreate the synonym :

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM VIEW_COLUMNS FOR "SYS"."VIEW_COLUMNS"

11:49:39 (SQL Editor) Could not execute 'CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM VIEW_COLUMNS FOR "SYS"."VIEW_COLUMNS"' Error: (dberror) 330 - cannot use duplicate synonym name: VIEW_COLUMNS: line 1 col 22 (at pos 22)

I cannot access the admin console from hana studio because of this error too.

I deleted all custom config files and restart but the error persists.

What is happening?!

Thank you

This was a HANA internal issue, that occure rarely but fixed in latests versions. Thank you for your help.

Can you check whether there are other objects with the same name present in the system?

Maybe a private synonym?
