Object Type Namespace Comments
DESTINATION 1 A destination is a Scheduler object that defines a location for running a job. Designate the locations where a job runs by specifying either a single destination or a destination group in the destination_name attribute of the job. If you leave the destination_name attribute NULL, the job runs on the local host (the host where the job was created).
FUNCTION 1 PL/SQL object that comes in two forms ... regular functions and pipelined table functions.
INDEXTYPE 1 An object that specifies the routines that manage a domain (application-specific) index. It is a binding of an indextype name to an implementation type, which in turn
specifies and refers to user-defined index functions and procedures that implement the indextype.
JAVA CLASS 1 -
JOB 1 A job, scheduled or unscheduled, created with the DBMS_SCHEDULER built-in package.
JOB CLASS 1 A classification of related jobs created with the DBMS_SCHEDULER built-in package.
LIBRARY 1 A schema object associated with an operating-system shared library. The name of this schema object can then be used in the call_spec of CREATE FUNCTION or CREATE PROCEDURE statements, or when declaring a function or procedure in a package or type, so that SQL and PL/SQL can call to third-generation-language (3GL) functions and procedures.
MLE Language 1 (new 21c)
OPERATOR 1 Binds overloads based on PL/SQL functions.
PACKAGE 1 Also known as the Package specification.
PROCEDURE 1 A program, written in PL/SQL or Java stored within the database.
PROGRAM 1 Makes possible the creation of job scheduled programs, internal or external, by means of the DBMS_SCHEDULER built-in package
SCHEDULE 1 A job schedule created with the DBMS_SCHEDULER built-in package.
SCHEDULER GROUP 1 A grouping of schedules created with the DBMS_SCHEDULER built-in package.
SEQUENCE 1 A database object from which multiple users may generate unique integers. Sequence objects are most often used to automatically generate surrogate keys.
SYNONYM 1 An object alias that can be used to provide a simple name to replace schema_name plus object_name and/or object_name plus database link name
TABLE 1 This single object type includes heap tables, global temporary tables, index organized tables, and partitioned tables
External Tables Heap Tables Partitioned Tables
Global Temporary Tables Index Organized Tables Private Temporary Tables
XML Tables    
TABLE PARTITION 1 Partitions within a partitioned table
TABLE SUBPARTITION 1 Subpartitions within a composite partitioned table
TYPE 1 A user defined data type that may contain methods and functions
VIEW 1 SQL statements stored within the database
WINDOW 1 Scheduler Window
PACKAGE BODY 2 The body containing working PL/SQL who's public interface defined by the corresponding package specification
TYPE BODY 2 Use a type body to define or implement the member methods defined in an object type's specification. Contains the code for the methods that implement a type.
TRIGGER 3 Five distinct trigger types exist in an Oracle database. They are traditional table triggers, instead-of triggers on views,DDL event triggers, system event triggers, and editioning triggers. Links to all five types are the bottom of the page.
INDEX 4 Oracle supports a variety of different index types but all of them serve one and only one purpose: To speed access to data that would otherwise be stored in a table.
INDEX PARTITION 4 An index created such that the index is logically partitioned so as to correspond with the partitioning of table data segments: Referred to as a local index.
CLUSTER 5 An object defined by a tablespace into which tables can be stored with unique changes to how they will be stored and accessed
LOB 8 A large object: Used to refer to BFILES, BLOBs, and CLOBS.
LOB PARTITION 8 A large object column in a partitioned table.
DIRECTORY 9 A database object that maps a physical location in an operating system directory visible to the owner of the Oracle database binaries.
QUEUE 10 An object addressed primarily by means of the DBMS_AQ Advanced Queuing built-in package.
JAVA SOURCE 13 -
JAVA RESOURCE 14 A pointer to a Java file.
CONTEXT 21 A set of application-defined attributes that validates and secures an application created with the DBMS_SESSION built-in package.
RULE SET 23 A set of defined fules.
CONSUMER GROUP 24 A set of consumers defined by sharing, between the members of the group, an allocation of resources such as an cpu allocation.
RESOURCE PLAN 24 A one to multi-level plan allocating resources such as cpu created with the DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER built-in package
XML SCHEMA 25 An XML schema is a schema definition language written in XML. It may be used to describe the structure and semantics of conforming instance documents.
JAVA DATA 32 -
RULE 36 A database object that enables a client to perform an action when an event occurs and a condition is satisfied. A rule consists of the following components:
  • Rule Condition
  • Rule Evaluation Context (optional)
  • Rule Action Context (optional)
Each rule is specified as a condition that is similar to the condition in the WHERE clause of a SQL query. Related rules can be grouped into rule sets. A rule can be in one rule set, multiple rule sets, or no rule sets.

Rule sets are evaluated by a rules engine, which is a built-in part of Oracle. Both user-created applications and Oracle features, such as Oracle Streams, can be clients of the rules engine.
EVALUATION CONTEXT 38 DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_EVALUATION_CONTEXT
UNDEFINED 51 Undefined
UNDEFINED 52 Undefined
EDITION 64 A schema-less object providing a private environment that can be utilized to perform online redefinition of some database object types. Edition-based redefinition enables upgrading application database objects while the application is in use minimizing or eliminating down time.
CONTAINER 88 Container Database architecture object: CDB, Application Container, or PDB
UNIFIED AUDIT POLICY 93 An audit policy that applies to multi-tenant CDBs.
LOCKDOWN PROFILE 132 Only available in CDBs ... mechanism that restricts operations and functionalities.
MLE Language 147 (new 21c)
DATABASE LINK unassigned A soft link from Oracle database to Oracle database. Some supported heterogeneous links are also possible.
