RE: What is difference between base table and data dictionary views?

Hi
Base tables are made when the database is created and these tables are stored in data dictionary. these base tables contains the information related to the database. these tables are own by sys.
the information in these tables is crypted and cannot be modified.

So we use the views to access the information in these base tables. these views are called data dictionary views. these views are created when we run the script
@ ORACLE_HOME/RDBMS/ADMIN/CATALOG.SQL
