You can use BR*Tools for Oracle to show information about tables.
...
1. Start the procedure using BRGUI or BRTOOLS, or from the command line:
¡ BRGUI or BRTOOLS:
i. Choose Segment management → Additional segment functions → Show tables.
BRGUI or BRTOOLS displays the menu BRSPACE main options for showing database information, where you specify the options with which you call BRSPACE.
ii. Set the required options:
Menu Entry |
Equivalent BRSPACE Command Option |
BRSPACE profile (profile) |
|
Database user/password (user) |
|
Database tablespace (tablespace) |
|
Database owner (owner) |
|
Database table (table) |
If required, in Database table you can enter the names of multiple tables by using wildcards. For more information, see “Selecting Objects“ in Segment Management with BR*Tools.
In Database tablespace and Database owner, you can specify multiple objects but you cannot use wildcards. BRSPACE processes all the tables in the specified tablespace(s) or all tables belonging to the specified owner(s).
iii. Choose Continue.
BRGUI or BRTOOLS displays a further menu, Additional BRSPACE options for showing database information, where you specify the additional options with which you call BRSPACE.

This shows you the BRSPACE –f dbshow -c tbinfo command that is to be executed using the current settings. |
iv. Choose Continue
BRGUI or BRTOOLS prompts you to start BRSPACE.
v. Choose Continue to start BRSPACE.
¡ Command line:
...
Enter at least the following command:
brspace –f dbshow –c tbinfo
You can enter more parameters if required. For more information, see BRSPACE -f dbshow.
BRSPACE starts and you see a message that includes Start of BRSPACE processing. From now on, BRSPACE writes a detail log if you set the option Create log file (parameter –l|-log).
If you started BRSPACE from the command line without the information class name (-c|-class) – that is, with brspace –f dbshow – BRSPACE displays the Show database information main menu.
Choose Show database segment information → Show tables.
2. If you have already entered a single table name, continue with step 4.
BRSPACE displays the List of database tables:
