Database Object Metadata

Dynamic Performance Tables

Throughout its operation, Oracle maintains a set of virtual tables that record current database activity. These tables are called dynamic performance tables.

Dynamic performance tables are not true tables, and they should not be accessed by most users. However, database administrators can query and create views on the tables and grant access to those views to other users. These views are sometimes called fixed views because they cannot be altered or removed by the database administrator.

SYS owns the dynamic performance tables; their names all begin with V_$. Views are created on these tables, and then public synonyms are created for the views. The synonym names begin with V$. For example, the V$DATAFILE view contains information about the database’s datafiles, and the V$FIXED_TABLE view contains information about all of the dynamic performance tables and views in the database.

See Also: Oracle9i Database Reference for a complete list of the dynamic performance views’ synonyms and their columns

Database Object Metadata

The DBMS_METADATA package provides interfaces for extracting complete definitions of database objects. The definitions can be expressed either as XML or as SQL DDL. Two styles of interface are provided:

A flexible, sophisticated interface for programmatic control

A simplified interface for ad hoc querying

See Also: Oracle9i Supplied PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference for more information about DBMS_METADATA
