Just curious. Someone asked about an undocumented view that lists all the
errors and I followed the train of thought.
Oracle puts parameters that are in progress, or about to be desupported as
undocumented parameters. Some of them are used by Technical Support I
think.
I was wondering if they do the same thing with data dictionary views, or if
that is pretty much fixed and they introduce them all suddenly when a new
version is released.
They do introduce new views from version to version, I was thinking maybe
precursors of those might exist in the previous version.
Doesn't sound like it.
It makes sense that they wouldn't -- after all, I imagine there is a
(slight) performance hit involved in maintaining data dictionary views.
They probably lump them all into the next version's beta and test them there
through their partners.
I know about the base tables and X$ tables.
Pat.
