Oracle7 Server Reference Manual

This chapter contains descriptions of the static data dictionary tables and views. To see the current data dictionary on your system, query the view DICTIONARY.

See Chapter 3, "Dynamic Performance (V$) Tables," for descriptions of the V$ views.

In Trusted Oracle7 Server, each of the dictionary tables and views contains the column that indicates the label of each row in the table or view. There are also additional dictionary tables and views, some of which have additional columns.

For more information about Trusted Oracle7 data dictionary views, see the Trusted Oracle7 Server Administrator's Guide.

Data Dictionary Views

The following is an alphabetical reference of the data dictionary views accessible to all users of an Oracle Server. Most views can be accessed by any user with the CREATE_SESSION privilege.

BLEVEL B-Tree level: depth of the index from its root block to its leaf blocks. A depth of 0 indicates that the root block and leaf block are the same.
LEAF_BLOCKS Number of leaf blocks in the index
DISTINCT_KEYS Number of distinct indexed values. For indexes that enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints, this value is the same as the number of rows in the table (USER_TBLES.NUM_ROWS)

If its value is near the number of blocks, then the table is very well ordered. In such a case, the index entries in a single leaf block tend to point to rows in the same data blocks. If its value is near the number of rows, then the table is very randomly ordered. In such a case, it is unlikely that index entries in the same leaf block point to rows in the same data blocks.

LEAF_BLOCKS Number of leaf blocks in the index.
DISTINCT_KEYS Number of distinct indexed values. For indexes that enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints, this value is the same as the number of rows in the table USER_TABLES.NUM_ROWS.
AVG_LEAF_BLOCKS_ PER_KEY Average number of leaf blocks in which each distinct value in the index appears. This statistic is rounded to the nearest integer. For indexes that enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints, this value is always 1.
