[Quoted] [Quoted] I just got a hold of a oracle database but don't really know what the field [Quoted] names refer to. Is there a place where 'field name descriptions' are usually [Quoted] put? For example, Access has something called 'variable descriptions', SAS has something called 'variable labels'.

Field names, locations and labels are usually something I call a 'data dictionary' -- which may be somewhat different than what Oracle calls a 'data dictionary'. If there is a 'common' place to put field descriptions, please [Quoted] let me know.
