Re: Does anyone have a script to display hierarchy of tables starting with a specific one

Nope. You can write a recursive stored procedure to output the info though. You can't do it in a single query because following the hierarchy requires a CONNECT BY query, which can be used in the same statement as a join. Guess what, the DBA views all do joins.

You can construct a view that performs a CONNECT BY query, then another query or view that performs a join to the results of the connect by, so it might be possible to do a CONNECT BY on the base dictionary tables to get the hierarchy, then join that result set to the necessary object names. Unfortunately, I've never tried this.

Good luck,
