Rosie, just about eveything you want or need to know about an Oracle
object can be found in the rdbms dictionary.  Here is a brief
introduction article to information on tables, views, indexes,
constraints, etc...

How do I find information about a database object: table, index,
constraint, view, etc... in Oracle ?    http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/object_info.html


How do I find out which users have the rights, or privileges, to
access a given object ?    http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/privileges.html
