Thanks Nigel for confirming! I appreciate your help!!
Dirk, I think Synonym may be a good work around and it will work but in my opinion it is not a good practice to keep table and synonym different. My DBAs would like to keep it consistent. I think I will go with creating view on new table with same name as old table which reduces amount of rework and is safe. I appreciate your help and quick replies!
Regards,
Purvi.
