migration syscolumns from SQL-Server to ORACLE

Coming from MS-Sql-Server I was looking for some time for the equivalent of mircrosofts system table syscolumns.

The simple part is to find out that columns of tables and views go to all_tablecolumns, dba_table_columns and user_table_columns. But MS-Sql constains as well the parameters of stored procedures. And that corresponds in ORACLE to ALL_ARGUMENTS. Even knowing that there must be a view in the data dictionary I needed nearly half a year to find this out. Well I was looking for name with colum or parameter or the like. Now I can happily forget about DBMS DESCRIBE and it's nasty interface. Google search didn't help here very much. They focused on the simple half.

By the way this blog and project is not abandoned, only til the midth of the year I'm occupied by some personal changes.
