I can imagine, with your background, you must feel blind without
access to the v$ views. But do you *really* need them as a developer?
My strategy is: in the development environment the developers are welcome to muck up the database as much as they like, but as soon as things pass to system and acceptance test environment the database is my ballpark, and the only one that makes changes to it is me or my dba colleagues, because I am responsible for the reliability of the test results as far as the schema is concerned.
