sure....in SQLPlus I want to access certain data dictionary ie: user_tabkes or constraint_name etc. basically to verifiy what I'm doing or to verify information on tables, users, constraints on other tables.

You can use the DICTIONARY or DICT view to know all data dictionary views available in your database. There are definitions of each view available there.

From your sqlplus,

select *
from DICT
where table_name like 'USER_%';

I just hope this is what you are looking for.
