14.3 Other Important Catalog Tables
There are several other catalog tables all of which are managed in a manner transparent to
the database user. Figure 14-6 provides a .list of commonly used catalog views. This list is by
no means exhaustive. However, studying and probing this list will give you a good insight of
the usefulness of the catalog views, as you manage the database. Do not feel disconcerted
or overwhelmed if you are not familiar with all of the views listed in the figure. These you
would normally cover in a course on Oracle database administration. The intent here is to
give you a reasonable overview of the role and complexity of the system catalog.
