Hi,
I don't think there is an automatic way of getting these names
since (but I'm not sure) the double quote mechanism is built in the
sql parser. If you create a table named SELECT or INSERT and this
names get into the data dictionary you cannot easily distinguish among
other "regular" ones. You can extract these names but in my opinion it
requires building a query/plsql proc that scans the column table_name
of XXX_tables and checks if:
1) upper(table_name) is different from table_name
2) table_name contains some non a-z A-Z 0-9 characters
3) upper(table_name) is equal to one of reserved words (select or
insert for example).
I looked at the all_tables definition and I did not found anything
that could help in finding "strange" names.
Perhaps someone with more experience than me on this list can throw
more light on this.
