Oracle Messaging Gateway Views
The DBA_QUEUE_TABLES view contains information about the owner instance for a queue table. A queue table can contain multiple queues. In this case, each queue in a queue table has the same owner instance as the queue table. Its columns are the same as those in ALL_QUEUE_TABLES.
The USER_QUEUE_TABLES view is the same as DBA_QUEUE_TABLES with the exception that it only shows queue tables in the user's schema. It does not contain a column for OWNER.
The ALL_QUEUE_TABLES view describes queue tables accessible to the current user.
The DBA_QUEUES view specifies operational characteristics for every queue in a database. Its columns are the same as those ALL_QUEUES.
The USER_QUEUES view is the same as DBA_QUEUES with the exception that it only shows queues in the user's schema.
The ALL_QUEUES view describes all queues on which the current user has enqueue or dequeue privileges. If the user has any Advanced Queuing system privileges, like MANAGE ANY QUEUE, ENQUEUE ANY QUEUE or DEQUEUE ANY QUEUE, this view describes all queues in the database.
The DBA_QUEUE_SCHEDULES view describes all the current schedules in the database for propagating messages.
The USER_QUEUE_SCHEDULES view is the same as DBA_QUEUE_SCHEDULES with the exception that it only shows queue schedules in the user's schema.
The QUEUE_PRIVILEGES view describes queues for which the user is the grantor, grantee, or owner. It also shows queues for which an enabled role on the queue is granted to PUBLIC.
The AQ$Queue_Table_Name view describes the queue table in which message data is stored. This view is automatically created with each queue table and should be used for querying the queue data. The dequeue history data (time, user identification and transaction identification) is only valid for single-consumer queues.
In a queue table that is created with the compatible parameter set to '8.1' or higher, messages that were not dequeued by the consumer are shown as "UNDELIVERABLE". You can dequeue these messages by msgid. If the Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing queue process monitor is running, then the messages are eventually moved to an exception queue. You can dequeue these messages from the exception queue with an ordinary dequeue.
A multiconsumer queue table created without the compatible parameter, or with the compatible parameter set to '8.0', does not display the state of a message on a consumer basis, but only displays the global state of the message.
Note:
Queues created in a queue table withcompatible set to 8.0 (referred to in this guide as 8.0-style queues) are deprecated in Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing 10g Release 2 (10.2). Oracle recommends that any new queues you create be 8.1-style or newer and that you migrate existing 8.0-style queues at your earliest convenience.When a message is dequeued using the REMOVE mode, DEQ_TIME, DEQ_USER_ID, and DEQ_TXN_ID are updated for the consumer that dequeued the message.
You can use MSGID and ORIGINAL_MSGID to chain propagated messages. When a message with message identifier m1 is propagated to a remote queue, m1 is stored in the ORIGINAL_MSGID column of the remote queue.
Beginning with Oracle Database 10g, AQ$Queue_Table_Name includes buffered messages. For buffered messages, the value of MSG_STATE is one of the following:
IN MEMORY
Buffered messages enqueued by a user
DEFERRED
Buffered messages enqueued by a capture process
SPILLED
User-enqueued buffered messages that have been spilled to disk
DEFERRED SPILLED
Capture-enqueued buffered messages that have been spilled to disk
BUFFERED EXPIRED
Expired buffered messages

Note:
A message is moved to an exception queue ifRETRY_COUNT is greater than MAX_RETRIES. If a dequeue transaction fails because the server process dies (including ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION) or SHUTDOWN ABORT on the instance, then RETRY_COUNT is not incremented.The AQ$Queue_Table_Name_S view provides information about subscribers for all the queues in any given queue table. It shows subscribers created by users with DBMS_AQADM.ADD_SUBSCRIBER and subscribers created for the apply process to apply user-created events. It also displays the transformation for the subscriber, if it was created with one. It is generated when the queue table is created.
This view provides functionality that is equivalent to the DBMS_AQADM.QUEUE_SUBSCRIBERS() procedure. For these queues, Oracle recommends that the view be used instead of this procedure to view queue subscribers. This view is created only for 8.1-compatible queue tables.

The DBA_TRANSFORMATIONS view displays all the transformations in the database. These transformations can be specified with Advanced Queue operations like enqueue, dequeue and subscribe to automatically integrate transformations in messaging. This view is accessible only to users having DBA privileges.
The DBA_ATTRIBUTE_TRANSFORMATIONS view displays the transformation functions for all the transformations in the database.
The USER_TRANSFORMATIONS view displays all the transformations owned by the user. To view the transformation definition, query USER_ATTRIBUTE_TRANSFORMATIONS.

The (G)V$AQ view provides information about the number of messages in different states for the whole database.
In a Oracle Real Application Clusters environment, each instance keeps its own Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing statistics information in its own System Global Area (SGA), and does not have knowledge of the statistics gathered by other instances. When a GV$AQ view is queried by an instance, all other instances funnel their Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing statistics information to the instance issuing the query.
The V$BUFFERED_QUEUES view displays information about all buffered queues in the instance. There is one row per queue.
The V$BUFFERED_SUBSCRIBERS view displays information about the subscribers for all buffered queues in the instance. There is one row per subscriber per queue.
The V$BUFFERED_PUBLISHERS view displays information about all buffered publishers in the instance. There is one row per queue per sender. The values are reset to zero when the database (or instance in an Oracle RAC environment) restarts.
The V$PERSISTENT_QUEUES view displays information about all active persistent queues in the database since the queues' first activity time. There is one row per queue. The rows are deleted when the database (or instance in an Oracle RAC environment) restarts.
The V$PERSISTENT_QMN_CACHE view displays detailed statistics about all background activities relating to all queue tables in the database. There is one row per queue table. The values are reset when the database (or instance in an Oracle RAC environment) restarts.
The V$PERSISTENT_SUBSCRIBERS view displays information about all active subscribers of the persistent queues in the database. There is one row per instance per queue per subscriber. The rows are deleted when the database (or instance in an Oracle RAC environment) restarts.
The V$PERSISTENT_PUBLISHERS view displays information about all active publishers of the persistent queues in the database. There is one row per instance per queue per publisher. The rows are deleted when the database (or instance in an Oracle RAC environment) restarts.
The V$PROPAGATION_SENDER view displays information about buffer queue propagation schedules on the sending (source) side. The values are reset to zero when the database (or instance in a Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment) restarts, when propagation migrates to another instance, or when an unscheduled propagation is attempted.
The V$PROPAGATION_RECEIVER view displays information about buffer queue propagation schedules on the receiving (destination) side. The values are reset to zero when the database (or instance in a Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment) restarts, when propagation migrates to another instance, or when an unscheduled propagation is attempted.
The V$SUBSCR_REGISTRATION_STATS view provides information for diagnosability of notifications.
This V$METRICGROUP view displays information about the metric group for each of the four major Streams components: capture, propagation, apply, and queue.
This view displays the capture, propagation, and apply metrics for the most recent interval.
