    Question

    Hi:

    Which system table will give me the information about system table_name and it's description?
    I tried table called "dictonary" but I was just able to find the table name but not it's discription.

    Let me know.

    I don't understand why you are not getting info from dict columns

    <font face=courier>
    SQL> select * from dict where table_name like 'DBA_%'

    I am looking for the information as sreddy metioned.

    It worked for
    select * from dict where table_name like '%DBA_%'

    but does not work for
    select * from dict where table_name like '%PART%'

    Any idea?

    Thanks.

    You are Trying to find the User Columns, in Divtionary there will not be any User Tables etc.

    You need to Explore DBA_Objects or All_Objects

    Select * from Dba_Objects
    where Object_Name like '%PART%';

    This should be fine for you.

    Thanks
