DBA Dictionary Views By default, SQL Navigator gives you USER object data dictionary views, meaning you can see only objects you own or for which you have been granted object privileges. When you Enable DBA views in SQL Navigator you can... Edit Profiles, Roles, and Users. View the following nodes of the DB Navigator tree: •Roles •Some nodes under Users • Datafiles under Tablespaces •Redo Log Groups •Rollback Segments •Partitioned tables in another user’s schema How to enable DBA views in SQL Navigator: - Oracle Logon Dialog | Enable DBA Views Oracle requirements to query DBA views: Your username must have one of the following roles or privileges: •DBA Role •SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE Role •SELECT ANY TABLE Privilege DBA role and SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE role must be defined as the default roles in Oracle. How SQL Navigator handles the views When DBA dictionary views are selected, SQL Navigator interrogates the data dictionary differently: Regardless of DBA View setting, SQL Navigator uses USER_% views for the logged-on user's objects. Without DBA Views, SQL Navigator uses ALL_% views for other user's objects. With DBA Views, SQL Navigator uses SYS.DBA_% views for other user's objects.
