I was working on something this morning and needed to find all the tables in our EO environment that still used %RAW data type columns. I was only expecting about 10 but was surprised to find over 100. As I researched further I have found out that there are a bunch of tables in all our environments XE & EO that appear to have virtual columns within the database. This is very strange to me, as we are currently on Oracle Ent ed 10.2.0.2 and virtual columns weren't officially supported until 11g. I checked our Pristine XE & EO environment and it's the same there.
Just wondered if we are unique for some reason and if not why they have done this.
To check you can run the following query as one of the data owners..
SELECT TABLE_NAME,COUNT(*)
FROM USER_TAB_COLS
WHERE VIRTUAL_COLUMN = 'YES'
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME;
