Static Data Dictionary Views with Columns That May Return Nulls

Starting with release 8.1, the columns in the static data dictionary views listed in Table C-4 may return nulls; in previous releases, these columns could not return nulls. If an application requires non-null values for one or more of the columns listed below, modify the application accordingly.

Table C-4 Columns That May Return Nulls in Release 8.1
Static Data Dictionary Views  Columns   Explanation 

DBA_DATA_FILES  

AUTOEXTENSIBLE

BLOCKS

BYTES

INCREMENT_BY

MAXBLOCKS

MAXBYTES  

These columns return a null if the data file is offline and therefore not readable.  

ALL_IND_COLUMNS

DBA_IND_COLUMNS

USER_IND_COLUMNS  

COLUMN_NAME  

This column returns a null if an index is on a function instead of a column. In this case, there is no column to list.  

ALL_IND_PARTITIONS

DBA_IND_PARTITIONS

USER_IND_PARTITIONS  

INITIAL_EXTENT

MAX_EXTENT

MIN_EXTENT

NEXT_EXTENT

PCT_INCREASE  

These columns return a null if the index is partitioned using a composite method and no default value was specified for the partition.  

ALL_OBJECT_TABLES

DBA_OBJECT_TABLES

USER_OBJECT_TABLES  

TABLESPACE_NAME  

This column returns a null in if an object table is partitioned or if it is a temporary table.  

ALL_SEGMENTS

DBA_SEGMENTS

USER_SEGMENTS  

BLOCKS

BYTES

EXTENTS

NEXT_EXTENT

PCT_INCREASE  

The BLOCKS, BYTES, and EXTENTS columns return a null if the segment header cannot be read because the file is offline or if there is some other corruption.

The of NEXT_EXTENT and PCT_INCREASE columns return a null if the tablespace storing the segment is locally managed and uses the AUTOALLOCATE option, because the system chooses the extent sizes, and the algorithm cannot be explained in terms of NEXT_EXTENT and PCT_INCREASE.  

ALL_TAB_PARTITIONS

DBA_TAB_PARTITIONS

USER_TAB_PARTITIONS  

INITIAL_EXTENT

MAX_EXTENT

MIN_EXTENT

NEXT_EXTENT

PCT_INCREASE  

These columns return a null if the table is partitioned using a composite method and no default value was specified for the partition.  

ALL_TABLESPACES

DBA_TABLESPACES

USER_TABLESPACES  

NEXT_EXTENT

PCT_INCREASE  

These columns return a null if the tablespace is locally managed and uses the AUTOALLOCATE option, because the system chooses the extent sizes, and the algorithm cannot be explained in terms of NEXT_EXTENT and PCT_INCREASE.  

ALL_TRIGGERS

DBA_TRIGGERS

USER_TRIGGERS  

TABLE_NAME  

This column returns a null if the trigger is a system trigger. In this case, the base object type of the trigger will be SCHEMA or DATABASE, instead of TABLE or VIEW.  

Static Data Dictionary Views Obsolete in Version 8

The static data dictionary views in this section are obsolete in version 8.

Static Data Dictionary Views Obsolete in Release 8.0

The following static data dictionary views became obsolete in release 8.0 and are not available in release 8.0 and higher:

ALL_HISTOGRAMS  

DBA_HISTOGRAMS  

DEFCALL
