Chapter 9 Working with Data Models
The following PDM model checks are made on synonyms:
| Check | Description and Correction | 
|---|---|
| Synonym name and code uniqueness | Synonym names and codes must be unique in the model.
 Manual correction: Modify the duplicate name/code Automatic correction: Appends a number to the duplicate name/code  | 
| Synonym name and code maximum length | The synonym name and code length is limited by the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition (MaxLen entry, in the Objects→Synonym category) and in the naming conventions of the model options.
 Manual correction: Modify the name/code length to meet this requirement Automatic correction: Truncates the name/code length to the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition  | 
| Existence of the base object | A synonym must correspond to a model object. By default, when you create synonyms from the List of Synonyms using the Add a Row tool, they are not attached to any base object.
 Manual correction: Select a base object from the synonym property sheet Automatic correction: Deletes the synonym  |
