New database SELECT dba_views error!

[yank]

Hi!

I have one problem , and I can't find the solution.
I built manually database, that has 2 tablespaces (system and user01).
I can start it up, and connect as internal.
When I use SELECT with V$ dynamic requests, it's working.
Example:
select * from v$tablespace;
it returne:
TS# NAME
--------------
0 System
1 User01

But, when I try to run SELECT DBA_something, it returns error:
select * from dba_data_files;

ERROR at line 1
ORA 00942: table or view does not exist.

And request that consist of SELECT * from dba_somethink return same error?!!!

Perhaps it looks silly, but I can't find the explanations (I just begin to study Oracle).
Can somebody help me?

Thank you.
Best regards.
Yan.

you have to run catalog.sql to generate these views

Hope you are not connecting as a different user while viewing from DBA_VIEWS !!

[pando]

well if the user you are using can see v$ views you should be able to see DBA_XXX, if you cannot then most probably is you have not run catalog.sql

Thank you very much!

You are right. When I executed the catalog.sql, all dba_XXX view began to work.

Thank you for advice.
