Oracle created a series of MD_% tables

Johnny_420Oct 31 2016 — edited Nov 1 2016

My H schema is showing a list of strange tables that comes with comments(as shown below) that I have not seen before.

TablesComments

MD_APPLICATIONFILES

MD_APPLICATIONS

MD_FILE_ARTIFACTS

MD_REPOVERSIONS

MD_TABLESPACES

MD_USER_PRIVILEGES

*Holds a tuple for each file that is being processed whether it is changed or not.

*This is the base table for application projects.  It holds the base information for applications associated with a database

*Holds a tuple for each interesting thing the scanner finds in a file

*This table is used to version this schema for future requirements.

*For storing information about tablespaces.

*This table stores privileges granted to individual users

It appears that they were created on 10/26/2016 and frankly I do not recall if I had done anything to trigger it on that day.

All of these tables are empty and I assume they can be removed.

I am wondering what do these tables mean and if I should be worried. If not, if I can go ahead and drop these tables.

Thanks

J
