    <p>Are you trying to build a full database search based on a key word? You can get table names , table column names and row counts by following code. But you cannot get row data within same code, you can get row data based on search results. </p> <pre><code> --Set output size SET serveroutput ON size 1000000 DECLARE -- var table Name for cursor loop. t_c1_tname user_tab_columns.table_name%TYPE; -- var column name for dynamic sql statement. t_c1_cname user_tab_columns.column_name%TYPE; -- var string for dynamic sql statement. t_command VARCHAR2(200); -- var for your search key word. l_str varchar2(20) := '%test%'; -- var for dynamic cursor. t_cid INTEGER; -- var for total row counts. t_total_records NUMBER(10); -- var for stat of executing dynamic sql statement. stat INTEGER; --var for each loop row counts. row_count INTEGER; -- var for minimum search result, here I set value = 0; t_limit INTEGER := 0; -- Only show tables with more rows -- cursor gets all table name, column name. CURSOR c1 IS select table_name, column_name from user_tab_columns where data_type in ( 'VARCHAR2' , 'VARCHAR', 'CHAR' ); BEGIN t_limit := 0; OPEN c1; LOOP FETCH c1 INTO t_c1_tname,t_c1_cname; EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND; -- Here create dynamic sql statement. t_command := 'SELECT COUNT(0) FROM '||t_c1_tname || ' where ' || t_c1_cname ||' like '''|| l_str||''''; t_cid := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR; DBMS_SQL.PARSE(t_cid,t_command,DBMS_SQL.native); DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(t_cid,1,t_total_records); -- Here execute dynamic sql statement. stat := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(t_cid); row_count := DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(t_cid); -- Here get total row counts for each loop.

    1. COThanks, I was referring to a full database search based on a key word. You seem to be correct that this cannot be done within the same code as I've come to realize. I am able to get the table name and row name. Is there a way to store the results in a table or an array then use it to retrieve those rows? I've tried creating an empty table and tried to insert my results into it using "execute immediate 'insert into search_db_results..." while within the loop but was not able to insert successfully. Again, my knowledge level is very basic so if you could be descriptive that would really help

    2. COChange "DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE..." code to "INSERT INTO search_db_results VALUES (t_c1_tname,t_c1_cname,t_total_records); ".

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
