Description
-----------

Takes a source database name and synonym name, and then creates the 
synonym database with views that point to all of the tables within
the source database.

Useful for creating a "ps" synonym for "performance_schema",
or "is" instead of "information_schema", for example.

Parameters
-----------

in_db_name (VARCHAR(64)):
  The database name that you would like to create a synonym for.
in_synonym (VARCHAR(64)):
  The database synonym name.

Example
-----------
