What is a base table?
Rating:
A base table is created by using the CREATE TABLE command; or, in other words, they are the underlying tables that store information about the associated database. These tables are written and read only by Oracle. Base tables can rarely be accessed by the database users, as these are in normalized form and most of the data are stored in the cryptic format.
