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