ArcSDE System Tables visible in Oracle SQL Developer but invisible in ArcCatalog

[WinnieLow]

Hello,

I've recently installed ArcSDE for Oracle10gR2 on Windows 7 platform. I was able to view all System Tables such as COLUMN_REGISTRY, DBTUNE via Oracle SQL Developer. In addition, I can also view all the System Tables via Oracle SQL*Plus. However, when I connect to the ArcSDE geodatabase using the "Add Spatial Database Connection" in ArcCatalog, I cant see any System tables and was able to see other schema's tables.

Can someone help me to resolve this? Thanks.

Regards,
Winnie

That behavior is by design, to reduce clutter.  The other schema's tables might just
be feature datasets (owned by other users, but not accessible because one or more
of the tables within are not SELECTable).
