    V$db_object_cache

    Hi,

    V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE
    Documentation says this view displays objects that are cached in library cache. Objects include table,indexes etc

    As far as i know, in library cache, we have only the text code, parsed code and execution plan.

    Can somebody explain, what does the doc mean by saying objects cached ?

    You sure are confused chap...

    Tables, indexes etc are not objects they are segments

    Packages, Procedures, views, sequences are objects....

    The view V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE shows objects which are kept using the package DBMS_SHARED_POOL.KEEP only and its not possible to KEEP tables using DBMS_SHARED_POOL package.

    Use the storage clause "storage (BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT|KEEP|RECYCLE)" to pin tables.

    Also the view V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE doesnot show the pinned tables.
    check the views v$buffer_pool_statistics and v$buffer_pool to view statistics of pinned tables.

    Could it be that table meta-data is cached here ?

    Im not sure about that part. Keep column always shows NO in V$DB_OBJECT_CACHE, where as for a procedure it will show YES once its pinned using DBMS_SHARED_POOL.KEEP.

    However the column "type" does shows as "TABLE" when the table is pinned using storage clause (BUFFER_POOL KEEP). If its not pinned then it shows "NOT LOADED"

    Table metadata is stored in the dictionary cache
