need to compare long data against varchar2Mark

Not that I have an answer for you, but what about synonyms to tables / views being referenced ?

I need to devise a method of comparing the TEXT column of dba_views against varchar2. End result I want to find the views that reference a particular table within its text.

  example (which ~obviously~ will not work):   select view_name
  from dba_views
  where text like '%<table_name>%

I understand that a query or PL/SQL procedure of this sort would be long running, but getting the concept to work would be a start.

TIA
