If a synonym is created in an Oracle database but cannot be found when using it, there could be several reasons and solutions for this issue:

  1. Incorrect Synonym Name: Ensure that the correct synonym name is specified and used accurately when needed.
  2. Incorrect user belonging for synonym: When using synonyms, make sure to specify the user to which the synonym belongs. Ensure that the correct user is specified when using it.
  3. Synonyms do not exist: Ensure that the synonym has been successfully created. You can confirm if the synonym exists by querying the DBA_SYNONYMS view. If it does not exist, you can try recreating the synonym.
  4. Insufficient permission: Make sure the current user has the necessary permissions to use synonyms. You can use the GRANT statement to grant the appropriate permissions.
  5. Database linking issue: If the synonym points to an object in another database, make sure the database link is properly configured and the correct link is used when using the synonym.

If the above solutions still cannot solve the problem, you can provide more error information and specific operation steps to better help you solve the problem.
