Toad for Oracle version 9.7.2.5

Maybe this is in the newer version?

It would be nice to be able to configure a filter and see the X next to the  
synonym when it is invalid.

We have experience some issues with invalid synonyms.

Thanks

Cindy

There is no way to show a red X, but you can use the filter to edit the SB query  
to just show invalid synonyms – and you can save the filter for quick  
re-use whenever you want.

There is also an item for this in the DB Health Check.
