Executive Summary
The FND Tables and Columns report serves as a dynamic data dictionary for the Oracle EBS application. It lists registered tables, their columns, primary keys, and associated descriptive flexfields. This is an invaluable resource for developers, report writers, and data analysts.
Business Challenge
Oracle EBS has thousands of tables. Finding the correct table name, column name, or understanding the primary key structure for a specific entity can be challenging. Documentation is not always up to date with custom extensions or specific patch levels.
The Solution
This report provides an “as-built” view of the database schema as registered in the Application Object Library (AOL). It helps users:
- Search for tables by name or pattern.
- Find specific columns across the entire schema.
- Identify primary keys for joining tables.
- See which tables have Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) enabled.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the AOL dictionary tables: fnd_tables, fnd_columns, fnd_primary_keys, and fnd_descriptive_flexs. This ensures the information matches exactly what the application “knows” about the database.
Parameters & Filtering
- Table Name: Search for a specific table (e.g.,
PO_HEADERS_ALL). - Column Name like: Find tables containing a specific column (e.g.,
%VENDOR_ID%). - Key Columns only: Restrict the output to only show primary key columns, useful for understanding join conditions.
Performance & Optimization
The report is optimized for metadata querying. Searching by Column Name like with a leading wildcard (e.g., %ID) may be slower than searching by Table Name.
FAQ
Q: Does this include custom tables?
A: It includes any custom tables that have been registered in EBS using the AD_DD package or the “Register Table” form. It will not show custom tables that exist in the database but are not registered in AOL.
Q: Why don’t I see a specific view?
A: This report focuses on Tables. While some views are registered in fnd_tables, many are not.
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.
