Catalog Views / Data Dictionary Views

The data dictionary views, also known as catalog views, let you monitor the state of the database in real time:

The USER, ALL, and DBA views show information about schema objects that are accessible to you, at different levels of privilege.
The V$ views show performance-related information.
