Hi:

Oracle 8173 on Sun Box.

SQL> select count(*) from user_tables;

  COUNT(*)
----------
       326

SQL> select count(*) from user_segments where segment_type='TABLE';

  COUNT(*)
----------
       318

SQL> select segment_name from user_segments
  2  where segment_type='TABLE'
  3  and segment_name like 'DR$%'
  4  order by segment_name;

SEGMENT_NAME
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$I
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$R
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$I
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$R
DR$COREREF_TITLE$I
DR$COREREF_TITLE$R
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$I
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$R

8 rows selected.

SQL>  select table_name from user_tables
  2   where table_name like 'DR$%'
  3   order by table_name;

TABLE_NAME
------------------------------
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$I
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$K
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$N
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$R
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$I
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$K
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$N
DR$COREREF_ABSTRACT$R
DR$COREREF_TITLE$I
DR$COREREF_TITLE$K
DR$COREREF_TITLE$N

TABLE_NAME
------------------------------
DR$COREREF_TITLE$R
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$I
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$K
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$N
DR$TEST_CONTEXT$R

16 rows selected.

Why tables like DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$K, DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$N do not have their
corresponding segments? What are they and their functions?

TIA.
