database_properties is not a database dictionary view?

We are using 9.2.0.2.0 on solaris.

When I select from dict

SQL> select table_name from dict where
upper(table_name)='DATABASE_PROPERTIES';

no rows selected

but the view is clearly there

SQL> select count(*) from database_properties;

  COUNT(*)

        25

Is this a bug or what?
