Greg,
USER_TAB_COLUMNS is NOT a table but a complex view of several SYS tables.
Consequently adding a column requires redefining the view (owner by sys to boot)
and then if you ever have to re-run catalog.sql your change is gone. Not
something I would do.

Does anyone know if it is 'safe' to add additional columns
to user_tab_columns? I am running 8.1.5. I would use the new
columns to tell the application software which columns on
any one table are user editable by a dynamically generated
dialog form.
Thanks,
Greg
