ALL_TABLES

ALL_TABLES describes the relational tables accessible to the current user. To gather statistics for this view, use the ANALYZE SQL statement.

Related Views

DBA_TABLES describes all relational tables in the database.
USER_TABLES describes the relational tables owned by the current user. This view does not display the OWNER column.

Note:

Columns marked with an asterisk (*) are populated only if you collect statistics on the table with the ANALYZE statement or the DBMS_STATS package.
