Symptoms
Assume that you create a synonym for a stored procedure that takes a table-valued parameter in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or 2016. When you execute that stored procedure by using the synonym from a remote procedure call (RPC), for example, from a C# application, the execution fails, and you receive the following error message:
Error: 2809 The request for procedure <procedure name> failed because <object name> is a synonym object.
