The dependencies tables do not go down to the column level. If I want to know all views that access the sal column of scott.emp how do I do this. I can find out the name of the views which access the table via "dependencies", get the view text and parse it by eye. But I don't want to do that. I want the database to do so. I can use dbms_dql.parse, dbms_sql.describe columns, and the text of the view; however, this method does not work very well if the view contains a function or an operation on the column.
Oracle must hold this information somewhere after a statement is parsed, but where ? Ian -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: MacGregor, Ian A.
