DICT_COLUMNS视图记录着数据字典表字段的信息，是DICT视图的有效补充。该视图是自我学习和提示的有效手段。

1.DICT_COLUMNS视图作用
1）通过COMMENTS字段可获得字段的描述信息，有助于字段的深入理解
sys@ora10g> select * from dict_columns where TABLE_NAME='DICT';

TABLE_NAME        COLUMN_NAME                    COMMENTS
----------------- ------------------------------ --------------------
DICT              TABLE_NAME                     Name of the object
DICT              COMMENTS                       Text comment on the object

2）查询都有哪些表包含指定的字段
sys@ora10g> select * from dict_columns where COLUMN_NAME='TABLE_NAME' and rownum
TABLE_NAME        COLUMN_NAME                    COMMENTS
----------------- ------------------------------ ---------------------
USER_CATALOG      TABLE_NAME                     Name of the object
ALL_CATALOG       TABLE_NAME                     Name of the object
DBA_CATALOG       TABLE_NAME                     Name of the object

3）查询哪些表具有超级多的字段
sys@ora10g>SELECT *
FROM (SELECT   table_name, COUNT (*)
            FROM dict_columns
        GROUP BY table_name
        ORDER BY 2 DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM

TABLE_NAME                       COUNT(*)
------------------------------ ----------
GV$SESSION                             81
V$SESSION                              80
GV$SQL                                 72
V$SQL                                  71
GV$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL             69
GV$SQLAREA                             68
V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL              68
GV$DISPATCHER_RATE                     67
V$SQLAREA                              67

9 rows selected.

从上面的查询中可以看出GV$SESSION视图包含的字段最多，共包含81列！
利用这个方法也可以对具体项目中数据库设计进行评估，对包含过多列的表进行重点的评审，防止设计缺陷。

2.视图DICT_COLUMNS的出处——catalog.sql
我们可以在catalog.sql脚本中找到DICT_COLUMNS的创建语句，这些内容是理解DICT_COLUMNS的实现非常有帮助。
create or replace view DICT_COLUMNS
    (TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, COMMENTS)
as
select o.name, c.name, co.comment$
from sys.com$ co, sys.col$ c, sys.obj$ o
where o.owner# = 0
and o.type# = 4
and (o.name like 'USER%'
       or o.name like 'ALL%'
       or (o.name like 'DBA%'
           and exists
                   (select null
                    from sys.v$enabledprivs
                    where priv_number = -47 /* SELECT ANY TABLE */)
           )
      )
and o.obj# = c.obj#
and c.obj# = co.obj#(+)
and c.col# = co.col#(+)
and bitand(c.property, 32) = 0 /* not hidden column */
union all
select o.name, c.name, co.comment$
from sys.com$ co, sys.col$ c, sys.obj$ o
where o.owner# = 0
and o.name in ('AUDIT_ACTIONS','DUAL','DICTIONARY', 'DICT_COLUMNS')
and o.obj# = c.obj#
and c.obj# = co.obj#(+)
and c.col# = co.col#(+)
and bitand(c.property, 32) = 0 /* not hidden column */
union all
select so.name, c.name, co.comment$
from sys.com$ co,sys.col$ c, sys.obj$ ro, sys.syn$ sy, sys.obj$ so
where so.type# = 5
and so.owner# = 1
and so.obj# = sy.obj#
and so.name sy.name
and sy.owner = 'SYS'
and sy.name = ro.name
and ro.owner# = 0
and ro.type# = 4
and ro.obj# = c.obj#
and c.col# = co.col#(+)
and bitand(c.property, 32) = 0 /* not hidden column */
and c.obj# = co.obj#(+)

3.oracle官方文档中的描述

DICT_COLUMNS

DICT_COLUMNScontains descriptions of columns in data dictionary tables and views.

Column	Datatype	Description
`TABLE_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(30)`	Name of the object that contains the column
`COLUMN_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(30)`	Name of the column
`COMMENTS`	`VARCHAR2(4000)`	Text comment on the column

4.与表字段描述相关的其他视图
根据DICT_COLUMNS视图的功能，我们可以在系统中通过DICT视图获得与表字段有关的视图。
sys@ora10g> select table_name from dict where table_name like '%COLUMNS%' order by 1;
