Re: select username,tablename,privilege?

The 'global' view you mentioned is actually called 'dictionary', and there's another one called 'dict_columns' which (sometimes!) gives a word or two about the columns within a particular Data Dictionary view.

Frequently, the 'comment' column in both views is rather less than useful, but I have occasionally come across a gem which (for example) will tell you the valid values for a column.

Regards
HJR
