./e1102000.sql:9039:drop view INT$DBA_CONSTRAINTS;

于是定位到下面的一行：

./cdcore.sql:14191:create or replace view INT$DBA_CONSTRAINTS

然后vi cdcore.sql ，找到如下的信息：

-- INT$DBA_CONSTRAINTS has two object types - a view and a table.
-- The dictionary information about linked views is stored only in ROOT,
-- with a dummy obj$ row in PDB to indicate this. Hence we can use common
-- data view mechanism to fetch view constraints.
-- The dictionary information about linked tables however is stored in
-- all the containers. Hence using common data view mechanism would fetch
-- duplicate constraints. So we added a condition that if the object is
-- a not a linked table then fetch the constraint and if it is a linked
-- table then fetch the constraint only if the origin con id is root or
-- non-cdb.
