Thanks for the reply agis,
Just to clarify: I haven't been playing with the dd, nor do I intend to.

In response to your question: the objects in question are plain tables.

A typical definition (lifted from an export) is:

CREATE TABLE TAUL (CDC VARCHAR2(5),  CDU VARCHAR2(4),  CDE VARCHAR2(2),  CDP VARCHAR2(2)) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 LOGGING STORAGE(INITIAL 40960) TABLESPACE users;
