finding a reference to an external table

edited Jun 17, 2014 1:51AM in PL/SQL (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

The following problem: our customer sends us a database dump to analyze a specific problem.

When we start the database we find that some code in the database is refering an externally owned table.

How can I find out, where in the database that external table is referenced?

If I had a dump of the database in textual representation I could grep through it.

I for now did a "strings dump.dmp | grep sth". This allowed me to find the exact table name and a piece of stored SQL code

referring that table.

Are there ways to do this search from within the database?
