In appendix B of the Admin Guide, there is an exhaustive list of the Oracle data dictionary. Page B-68 documents a table called user_tables. If you

select table_name from user_tables;

You get all of the users tables. You can also select (from the next page
of the manual)

select column_name from user_tab_columns where table_name='foo';

To get the columns for a table.

There are several other handy tables that you can use here.

I hope this helps
