How to Describe All Tables and Views
The lack of a DESCRIBE ALL command frustrated me when working on my first Oracle Applications instance. I wrote a view that describes all tables and views in a schema. Then, I wrote a query that formats the data from the view. The datatypes are now current for Oracle 11g. There’s also a PHP program to provide a web view of the data.
The query lets you see the formatted data from the SQL> prompt, where you can spool it to a file.
You can find the view, query and PHP program here.
