I am curious about something in your query. > SELECT distinct(o.object_name),o.object_type,o.owner > FROM dba_objects o,x$bh x > WHERE x.obj=o.object_id > AND o.object_type='TABLE' > AND standard.bitand(x.flag,524288)>0 > AND o.owner<>'SYS';
Where did you learn of the correct pattern for the "AND standard.bitand(x.flag,524288)>0" clause?
