The customer and order tables are often used in joins, thereby resulting in complex queries. You created views to simplify the writing of queries. These views are stored in _____.

User tables store application row data, not database object definitions such as views.

There is no Oracle storage structure called a 'view segment'; views have no segment because they contain no rows.

Table segments store physical row data for tables in data files; view definitions are not placed in table segments.

When a view is created, Oracle records its definition - the underlying SELECT statement and associated metadata - in the data dictionary, accessible through catalog views such as USER_VIEWS and DBA_VIEWS owned by SYS. The data dictionary is the central repository for all database object definitions, and views consume no independent storage segment because they hold no data themselves.

Object segments hold data for object types such as nested tables or varrays, not view definitions.

Performance tables such as V$ dynamic performance views expose runtime instance metrics; they do not store user-created view definitions.
