The database system contains a series of system tables that contain information about the database objects and their connection to each other, statistics system tables, and monitor system tables.
The following examples show you how to evaluate the system tables.
· When you specify SELECT statements for the system tables, you have to bear in mind some general information.
· If you want to find out which system table contains information for a particular database term, consult the list of database terms.
· If you want to find out which information a particular system table can provide, see the section Evaluating System Tables.
For a complete definition of the most important system tables, see Definition of the System Tables.
