Hi Ashoke,

Under 817 you can use dba_dependencies - their may be other ways as well.

For example:

SQL> create table a (a integer);

Table created.

SQL> create table b (b integer);

Table created.

SQL> create view ab as select * from a,b where a=b;

View created.

SQL> select * from dba_dependencies where NAME = 'AB';

OWNER NAME TYPE REFERENCED_OWNER REFERENCED_NAME REFERENCED_T REFERENCED_LINK DEPE

---------- ---------- ---- ------------------------------ ---------------
------------ --------------- ----
USER000001 AB         VIEW USER000001                     B
TABLE                        HARD
USER000001 AB         VIEW USER000001                     A
TABLE                        HARD

2 rows selected.

Searching dba_views.text will be a problem if the table names are split over more than 1 line in the view definition.

Greetings,

Is there any dictionary table/view where I can query the name of all the tables used by a particular view?

The way I do now is : Query the line containing 'from' in text field of dba_views for the specified view.

Is there any other way to get the list of the tables used by a view?

Thanks,
Ashoke
