RE: tables and views

You need to look into all_objects also. It tells you if it is a table or view.

SELECT DISTINCT c.owner, c.table_name, o.object_type FROM all_tab_columns c, all_objects o

WHERE c.table_name = o.object_name
  AND c.owner = o.owner
  AND o.object_type = 'TABLE' ;

Actually all_tables doesn't show views.
