One option:
Run trace for a such alter statement (not necessarily on production) and
look at recursive SQL containing both referenced tables. If I remember
correctly it was some kind of outer join between the tables.
OK it is something like this:
select /*+ all_rows ordered */ A.rowid, :1, :2, :3 from "GINTS"."T77" A ,
"GINTS"."IEDZIVOTAJI" B where( "A"."ID" is not null) and( "B"."IED_ID" (+)=
"A"."ID") and( "B"."IED_ID" is null)
So knowing one, you can quite easily guess what others will be.
If the join is done using nested loops then you won't find anything
in v$session_longops.
