Data dictionary tables are not directly accessible, but you can access information in them through data dictionary views. To list the data dictionary views available to you, query the view DICTIONARY
.
Many data dictionary tables have three corresponding views:
An ALL_
view displays all the information accessible to the current user, including information from the current user's schema as well as information from objects in other schemas, if the current user has access to those objects by way of grants of privileges or roles.
A DBA_
view displays all relevant information in the entire database. DBA_
views are intended only for administrators. They can be accessed only by users with the SELECT ANY TABLE
privilege. This privilege is assigned to the DBA
role when the system is initially installed.
A USER_
view displays all the information from the schema of the current user. No special privileges are required to query these views.
The columns of the ALL_
, DBA_
, and USER_
views corresponding to a single data dictionary table are usually nearly identical. Therefore, these views are described in full only once in this chapter, at their first occurrence alphabetically, and are listed without full descriptions at their other occurrences.
A number of data dictionary views are relevant only if you are using Oracle Replication. Table 2-1 lists these views.
The following are additional Oracle Replication data dictionary views:
DEFCALL
DEFCALLDEST
DEFDEFAULTDEST
DEFERRCOUNT
DEFERROR
DEFLOB
DEFPROPAGATOR
DEFSCHEDULE
DEFTRAN
DEFTRANDEST
