Oracle Data Dictionary

The Oracle data dictionary is the metadata about the database that is structured in tables and views. It is maintained by the Oracle database server, owned by the SYS user, and should never be modified directly using SQL. Common users are created in the root container and inherited by all PDBs, while local users are created within a specific PDB.

Common users VS local users

• A CDB common user is a database account that is created in the root container and is inherited by
all PDBs in the CDB, including future PDBs
• A common user can not have the same name as any local user across all the PDBs.
• Oracle supplied administrative accounts such SYS user and system user are common user.
• You can create common user , but you need user defined prefix C## , example C##KHALED
• The user defined prefix can be defined in parameter called common_user_prefix
• A Local user is DB user created in a specific PDB ( example: HR user in PDB orclpdb )
• You can create same local account and password in more than one PDB
example:
HR user in PDB called pdb1
HR user in PDB called pdb2
HR user in PDB called pdb3

Dynamic Performance Views ( v$ views)
• Are a set of underlying views that are maintained by the server and accessible to the database
administrator user SYS.

• are called dynamic performance views because they are continuously updated while a database is open
and in use.

• their contents relate primarily to performance.

• Dynamic performance views are identified by the prefix V_$.


Public synonyms for these views have the prefix V$.

• The dynamic performance views are used by Enterprise Manager and Oracle Trace, which is the primary
interface for accessing information about system performance

• Once the instance is started, the V$ views that read from memory are accessible.
Views that read data from disk require that the database be mounted.
