Query to get related Table name from given Column name in Oracle SQL Developer

  • Hi ALL,

    I am familiar with the SQL server 2008 R2 , but when it comes to the SQL developer i am not that much so i am facing a problem related to the creating Query .

    I am having the Tables in the Users section of a Database and i want a Query to retrieve the Table name of the ColumnName (i written inside the Query )

    Thank You.

  • I'm not sure what you mean, but have you tried the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS view?

    Yes , I have tried using the basic names

    SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME

    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

    but i am receiving invalid Table name or View .

    The main Problem over here is that " The Tables are not in the Direct Database , they are inside to the Individual Users (Roles) who are in that Database

    ummm....tables do not reside inside of a user or a role. They exist in the database, access to those tables is handled by the permissions granted to users and/or roles.

    Do you get an error when you run this?

    SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME

    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

    i think he's very oracle oriented.

    I tend to use the Oracle or SQL related views, instead of the information_schema stuff;

    so for example, in oracle, i'd query user_tab_cols; in SQL, i'd query sys.columns directly

    --ORACLE

    select * from user_tab_cols where column_name='ACTTBLKEY';

    --SQL-

    SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) As TABLE_NAME,* from sys.columns WHERE name = 'ACTTBLKEY';
