That raises another doubt. For an simple insert statement, could also update the UET$ or FET$ tables? So, if the purpose was to preserve all changes to the data dictionary, What's different between OBJ$, COL$ and these space management tables?
Thanks Raj "Arup Nanda" <arupnanda@ho To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tmail.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: simple question on DDL root@fatcity. com January 22, 2003 09:58 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L My guess will be to preserve the changes to the data dictionary, which are just Oracle tables anyway. When you create a table, a record goes to TAB$, SEG$ and so on and so forth. Unless there is a commit these information is not visible. But now that you asked, I wnder why the same objective couldn't have been done through autonomous transactions.
