C.6 Gateway Data Dictionary Descriptions

This topic provides descriptions of the Oracle Database Gateway for Sybase data dictionaries.

The gateway data dictionary tables and views provide the following information:

• Name, data type, and width of each column
• The contents of columns with fixed values

They are described here with information retrieved by an Oracle SQL*Plus DESCRIBE command. The values in the Null? column might differ from the Oracle database data dictionary tables and views. Any default value is shown to the right of an item, but this is not information returned by DESCRIBE.
