Hi,
  I was just looking at the data dictionary (dict table) and came upon a whole list of views that have similar names to the dynamic views (V$), but all start with GV$.
  EG:- GV$DLM_LOCKS
        GV$LOCK
   etc.

There almost seems to be one GV$ view for each V$ view. Would somebody tell me what these views are and why they are used. Oh, I am on ver 8.1.5 by the way.

Thanks a lot
Chandini Paterson
