Oracle Data Dictionary Pocket Reference : Views, Columns & Tips (Pocket References Ser.)

If you work with Oracle, then you don't need to be told that the data dictionary is large and complex, and grows larger with each new Oracle release. It's one of the basic elements of the Oracle database you interact with regularly, but the sheer number of tables and views makes it difficult to remember which view you need, much less the name of the specific column.

It's something every Oracle user should find useful to access on a regular basis. Its handy and compact format lets you locate the table and view you need effortlessly without stopping to interrupt your work. The book gives DBAs and developers at any level quick and easy access to the data dictionary in Oracle's latest database, Oracle9i. This pocket-sized book provides a complete list of the most commonly used tables and views in the Oracle9i data dictionary, intelligently arranged for quick reference. It also includes column names and descriptions for each of the tables and views, as well as helpful tips, warnings, and usage examples.
