Column	Datatype	NULL	Description
`OWNER`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	`NOT NULL`	Owner of the nested table
`TABLE_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	`NOT NULL`	Name of the nested table
`COLUMN_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	`NOT NULL`	Column name
`DATA_TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(128)`		Data type of the column
`DATA_TYPE_MOD`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Data type modifier of the column
`DATA_TYPE_OWNER`	`VARCHAR2(128)`		Owner of the data type of the column
`DATA_LENGTH`	`NUMBER`	`NOT NULL`	Length of the column (in bytes)
`DATA_PRECISION`	`NUMBER`		Decimal precision for `NUMBER` data type; binary precision for `FLOAT` data type; NULL for all other data types
`DATA_SCALE`	`NUMBER`		Digits to the right of the decimal point in a number
`NULLABLE`	`VARCHAR2(1)`		Indicates whether a column allows NULLs. The value is `N` if there is a `NOT NULL` constraint on the column or if the column is part of a `PRIMARY KEY`.
`COLUMN_ID`	`NUMBER`		Sequence number of the column as created
`DEFAULT_LENGTH`	`NUMBER`		Length of the default value for the column
`DATA_DEFAULT`	`LONG`		Default value for the column
`NUM_DISTINCT`	`NUMBER`		Number of distinct values in the column
`LOW_VALUE`	`RAW(1000)`		Low value in the column¹
`HIGH_VALUE`	`RAW(1000)`		High value in the column¹
`DENSITY`	`NUMBER`		If a histogram is available on `COLUMN_NAME`, then this column displays the selectivity of a value that spans fewer than 2 endpoints in the histogram. It does not represent the selectivity of values that span 2 or more endpoints. If a histogram is not available on `COLUMN_NAME`, then the value of this column is `1`/`NUM_DISTINCT`.¹
`NUM_NULLS`	`NUMBER`		Number of NULLs in the column
`NUM_BUCKETS`	`NUMBER`		Number of buckets in the histogram for the column Note: The number of buckets in a histogram is specified in the `SIZE` parameter of the SQL `ANALYZE` statement. However, Oracle Database does not create a histogram with more buckets than the number of rows in the sample. Also, if the sample contains any values that are very repetitious, Oracle Database creates the specified number of buckets, but the value indicated by this column may be smaller because of an internal compression algorithm.
`LAST_ANALYZED`	`DATE`		Date on which this column was most recently analyzed
`SAMPLE_SIZE`	`NUMBER`		Sample size used in analyzing this column
`CHARACTER_SET_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(44)`		Name of the character set: `CHAR_CS` `NCHAR_CS`
`CHAR_COL_DECL_LENGTH`	`NUMBER`		Declaration length of the character type column
`GLOBAL_STATS`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether statistics were gathered for the table (`YES`) or they were not gathered (`NO`). Note that for partitiioned tables, table level (global statistics) are estimated from partition level statistics when set to `NO`.
`USER_STATS`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether statistics were entered directly by the user (`YES`) or not (`NO`)
`AVG_COL_LEN`	`NUMBER`		Average length of the column (in bytes)
`CHAR_LENGTH`	`NUMBER`		Displays the length of the column in characters. This value only applies to the following data types: `CHAR` `VARCHAR2` `NCHAR` `NVARCHAR2`
`CHAR_USED`	`VARCHAR2(1)`		Indicates that the column uses `BYTE` length semantics (`B`) or `CHAR` length semantics (`C`), or whether the data type is not any of the following (NULL): `CHAR` `VARCHAR2` `NCHAR` `NVARCHAR2`
`V80_FMT_IMAGE`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether the column data is in release 8.0 image format (`YES`) or not (`NO`)
`DATA_UPGRADED`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether the column data has been upgraded to the latest type version format (`YES`) or not (`NO`)
`HIDDEN_COLUMN`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether the column is a hidden column (`YES`) or not (`NO`)
`VIRTUAL_COLUMN`	`VARCHAR2(3)`		Indicates whether the column is a virtual column (`YES`) or not (`NO`)
`SEGMENT_COLUMN_ID`	`NUMBER`		Sequence number of the column in the segment
`INTERNAL_COLUMN_ID`	`NUMBER`	`NOT NULL`	Internal sequence number of the column
`HISTOGRAM`	`VARCHAR2(15)`		Indicates existence/type of histogram: `NONE` `FREQUENCY` `HEIGHT BALANCED`
`QUALIFIED_COL_NAME`	`VARCHAR2(4000)`		Qualified column name
