Find the number of base tables, the number of base tables that are referred from at least one derived table (view or materialized view), the number of base tables that are referred from at least one view, and the number of base tables that are referred from at least one materialized view. If the database is used through the public database interface (virtual data layer), then, ideally, each table is referred from the subquery of at least one derived table.
