   Based on the wording, you seem to have a misconception about views and/or   
   the data dictionary.  I don't quite understand your problem.   
      
   Hopefully you understand the difference between the 'user_' and the 'dba_'   
   views?  (And hopefully you understand what a view actually is!)
