How can I discover what tables, columns, etc are there ?

Oracle maintains a live set of views that you can query to tell you what you have available. In V6, the first two to look at are DICT and DICT_COLUMNS which act as a directory of the other dictionary views. It is a good idea to be familiar with these.
Not all of these views are accessible by all users. If you are a DBA you should also create private DBA synonyms by running $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dba_syn.sql in your account.
