Hi reader,

If you copy a schema from a database to another you could check the integrity of the operation via the DBA_OBJECTS View. A good idea but the data dictionary view is incomplete - not all object types are supported.

SELECT DISTINCT Do.Object_Type
  FROM Dba_Objects Do
 ORDER BY Do.Object_Type

;

SQL> SELECT DISTINCT Do.Object_Type
  2    FROM Dba_Objects Do
  3   ORDER BY Do.Object_Type

  4  ;

In a schema of the same database i queried all object types of the DBA_OBJECTS view i found object types not listed : 

SELECT Uml.Log_Table
  FROM User_Mview_Logs Uml
;

SELECT Urc.NAME,
              Urc.Refgroup
  FROM User_Refresh_Children Urc
;

SELECT Ur.Refgroup,
       Ur.Rname
  FROM User_Refresh Ur

;

 

SQL> SELECT Uml.Log_Table
  2    FROM User_Mview_Logs Uml

;

LOG_TABLE

SQL> SELECT Ur.Refgroup,
  2         Ur.Rname
  3    FROM User_Refresh Ur

;

  REFGROUP RNAME
———- ——————————
       141 GMRV_FACTS_RGR_IFX
SQL>

SQL> SELECT Urc.NAME,
  2                 Urc.Refgroup
  3    FROM User_Refresh_Children Urc

;

NAME                             REFGROUP
—————————— ———-
GMRV_FACTS_MAX_PARENT_IFX             141
GMRV_FACTS_COUNTPART_IFX              141
GMRV_FACTS_MAX_VAL_IFX                141

As you can see clearly Refresh groups and Materialized View Logs are not supported and documented via the (DBA|ALL|USER)_OBJECTS Views.
