Hi lists

Is there a way to see the description of the column,means what value the column stores
for v$, x$ tables.

eg: desc v$session

we will see the column like...

SADDR          
SID            
SERIAL#        
AUDSID         
PADDR          
USER#          
USERNAME       
COMMAND        
OWNERID        
TADDR          

SQL_ADDRESS
SQL_HASH_VALUE
PREV_SQL_ADDR
PREV_HASH_VALUE
MODULE
MODULE_HASH how to find out what the column is and what value it stores.

i cannot find anything in dba_col_comments.

thanx in advance,
srinvias
