What does Custom Catalog Views do? "Custom Catalog Views" dictates whether custom OpenLink views are used to return metadata for certain ODBC catalog functions; SQLForeignKeys, SQLPrimaryKeys, SQLProcedureColumns, SQLProcedures, and SQLSpecialColumns. These custom views provide more metadata than is normally provided by the standard Oracle data dictionary views.To create and use the views, you must first run the odbccat[8|9].sql script. Use the following steps to perform that action:. Login to the machine that contains the Oracle DBMS. . su to the oracle user. . Execute the .profile associated with the oracle user. . cd into the bin sub-directory of the Oracle installation. . Run the Oracle server manager command, i.e., svrmgr or sqldba. . Connect as internal. . Execute the odbccat.sql script like any other Oracle script file. . Exit the Oracle server manager. The above actions will result in the creation of the following views:OPENLINK$SQL_ FOREIGN_ KEYS OPENLINK$SQL_ PRIMARY_ KEYS OPENLINK$SQL_ SPEC_ COLUMNS OPENLINK$SQL_ PROC_ COLUMNS OPENLINK$SQL_ PROCEDURES OPENLINK$SQL_ PROCS_ NOCOUNT
