Final answer:
B. False. The USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary object does not provide information about columns with an ON NULL clause; this is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary object may be used to identify columns that are assigned an ON NULL clause is false. The USER_TAB_COLUMNS view in Oracle Database provides information about columns in tables and views to which the user has access. It includes details such as the column name, data type, nullable status, and default values, but it does not provide information about whether a column has been defined with an ON NULL clause. Information about ON NULL clauses is found in other data dictionary views such as USER_TAB_COLS or USER_VIR_COLUMNS, not in USER_TAB_COLUMNS.
The ON NULL clause is typically associated with virtual columns and default values; however, its specifics would not be found in the USER_TAB_COLUMNS view. To find information about virtual columns or expressions that include the ON NULL clause, one should look into the USER_TAB_COLS or USER_VIR_COLUMNS data dictionary views where such extended column properties might be available.
