System Tables

About this chapter
Contents
1 5
The structure of every database is described in a number of system tables.
The Entity-Relationship diagram on the next page shows all the system
tables and the foreign keys that connect them.
The system tables are owned by the SYS user ID. The contents of these
tables can be changed only by the database system. The UPDATE, DELETE,
and INSERT commands cannot be used to modify the contents of these
tables. Further, the structure of these tables cannot be changed using the
ALTER TABLE and DROP commands.
