Case Study & Technical Analysis
Abstract
The DBA Table Columns report is a fundamental metadata discovery tool for developers and DBAs. It allows users to search the entire database schema for tables containing specific column names. This is particularly valuable in large ERP systems like Oracle E-Business Suite, where data models are complex and relationships are not always enforced by foreign keys.
Technical Analysis
Core Logic
- Search Scope: Queries
DBA_TAB_COLUMNSto find matches across all schemas. - Filtering: Supports wildcard searches (e.g.,
Column Name contains 'ATTRIBUTE') and can exclude views to focus purely on physical storage tables.
Key View
DBA_TAB_COLUMNS: The data dictionary view describing the columns of all tables, views, and clusters in the database.
Operational Use Cases
- Impact Analysis: “I need to change the data type of
PO_HEADER_ID. Which tables use this column name?” - Data Discovery: “I’m looking for a table that stores ‘tracking numbers’, so I’ll search for columns like
%TRACK%.” - Schema Auditing: Verifying that standard columns (like
WHOcolumns:CREATED_BY,CREATION_DATE) are present on custom tables.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
