• nope a synonym must point to an object ( an object that would exist in a databases sys.objects view), and not part of the name of an object.

    so by definitions, it is typically used for tables , views etc. very handy for aliasing four part objects, like CREATE SYNONYM myTable FOR OtherServer.Databasename.dbo.Tablename
