Static Data Dictionary Views

This chapter describes data dictionary tables and views. These tables and views are called static, because they change only when a change is made to the data dictionary (for example, when a new table is created or a user is granted new privileges). Oracle also maintains tables that monitor ongoing database activity. These dynamic performance tables are described in Chapter 3, "Dynamic Performance (V$) Views".

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:

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.
