Part II

Static Data Dictionary Views

This part 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 when a user is granted new privileges). This part contains the following chapters:

Chapter 2, "Static Data Dictionary Views: ALL_ALL_TABLES to DATABASE_PROPERTIES"
Chapter 3, " Static Data Dictionary Views: DBA_2PC_NEIGHBORS to USER_XML_VIEWS"

Note:

Oracle also maintains tables that monitor ongoing database activity. These dynamic performance tables are described in Part III, " Dynamic Performance Views ".
