Table T1 in Schema A, Synonym T1 in Schema B, View V1 in Schema B.

Question

Hi,
There are two schemas Schema A and Schema B
Table-> XML_TABLE is in Schema A.
If I create a view V1 with the following query:
SELECT *
FROM XML_TABLE t
WHERE XMLEXISTS (
'declare namespace nmsp ="name:namespace"; fn:collection("oradb:/PUBLIC/Table2")/ROW[ColumnName=$d/nmsp:Colmn2/nmsp:id]'
PASSING t.textxml AS "d")
My XML Indexes are used and output is fast.
BUT in Schema B also I have a synonym for table XML_TABLE pointing to the table in Schema A.
And I create a similar view v1 in schema B also using the same query as above.
BUT this doesn't use indexes. I can see that in the plan and also query never gets executed.
So IS IT correct to have table in schema A, Synonym in Schema B for this table and View in Schema B for this.
How should I make it work
OR
Should I remove the view to Schema A only?
Thanks..

Perhaps more tidy to just have the view defined in schema A along with the table, if it's going to be used in schema A as well, and then have a synonym for schema B to use that view.

Should I remove the view to Schema A only?Perhaps you could post an example of your table with some example data for people to use, along with the views and statement to set up the synonyms, so it can be reproduced by others to see what's going on. Also, post the explain plans you're referring to.
