 How to export all database synonym from SQL server

                        A database synonym, in the context of database management systems like SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL, is an alias or alternate name for a database object. These objects could include tables, views, stored procedures, functions, or even other synonyms. Synonyms provide a way to simplify queries and make them more readable by providing a different name that refers to the same underlying object.

Exporting all database synonyms from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) can be done using the following method:

• Open SQL Server Management Studio.

• Connect to the SQL Server instance where the database containing the synonyms is located.

• Navigate to the Object Explorer and expand the Databases node.

• Right-click on the database containing the synonyms.
• Select "Tasks" and then choose "Generate Scripts..." This will open the Generate Scripts wizard.

• In the Generate Scripts wizard, click "Next" to proceed.
  
  

• In the Choose Objects step, select "Select specific database objects."
• Expand the Tables node, and then select the Synonyms checkbox. This will ensure that only synonyms are included in the script generation.

• Click "Next" to proceed.
• In the Set Scripting Options step, configure the scripting options according to your preferences. You can specify whether to script the synonyms to a new query window, file, or clipboard. You can also choose to script data, if necessary.

• Click "Next" to proceed.
• Review the summary of the options selected, and then click "Next."
• The wizard will generate the script for exporting all database synonyms according to the specified options.

• Once the script is generated, you can choose to save it to a file or execute it directly in SQL Server Management Studio.

By following these steps, you can export all database synonyms from SQL Server Management Studio in a scripted format.
