Hi Fidel,
mainly that's true - but it works for some tables against the ABAP data dictionary
(i.e. you have to check some values from SAPR3 tables against data dictionary views:
Here I use RSTODS ( a BW table stroing ODS table information)  as an input source for my IN clause on a DBA table in RSORADVJ to know the exact partition counts on every ODS table.
Ex.:
select table_name,
            replace(To_char((sum(blocks) * 8192) / 1024/1024,'99999.99' ),'.',',') Mbyte,
            sum(num_rows) numrows, sum(blocks) blocks ,
            count(*) num_part
from dba_tab_partitions  " <--------------------------- Oracle dict table
where table_owner ='SAPR3' and
          TABLE_NAME in
                         ( select odsname_tech from rstsods)  " <----------------- BW table
group by table_name having ((sum(blocks) * 8192) / 1024/1024) >= 1
order by blocks desc
ok - it's somewhat limited what you can do (and it may a feature or a security bug )
but it works for me
