VPD Update policy at column level

Hi,
I have a table abc and I have applied a policy for update. Now the user who has no access is unable to update the table abc. Can I just restrict the user from updating a specific column ( user_id column in the table abc), rather than restricting the user from updating all columns?
Thanks.

hi,
You can use sec_relevant_cols parameter of the DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY procedure
begin
dbms_rls.add_policy (
object_schema => 'SCOTT',
object_name => 'EMP',
policy_name => 'VPD_TEST_POLICY',
function_schema => 'SCOTT',
policy_function => 'TEST_VPD',
statement_types => 'select, insert, update, delete',
sec_relevant_cols => 'sal,comm');
end;
you can see this doc
http://www.in-oracle.com/Oracle-DBA/DBA-I/vpd-virtual-private-database.php
or
You can also use views to enforce column-level security, showing only which columns in a table may be updated. For example, assume that you must design roles based a table where only managers may view or update the salary column of the employee table (column restriction).
1 - You can grant the end-user access to only those columns you wish to update:
grant update (col1, col2) on mytab to fred;
2 - You might create a view with only those columns that you want to allow updates, the table appears to the end-user as-if it contains only those columns. By granting access only to that view (and not the base table), you can effectively implement column-level security and restrict which columns in a table may be changed.

Column Level Security Using VPD under oracle 11g

Hi
I am using an example from Oracle Database 10g: Advance Security -- Virtual Private Databases
1. The Application Context -- that sets the session environment for the use is ok.
2. The Logon Trigger that executes the above is ok. It had been tested.
3. The Security Policy that returns a predicate after checking the output of the Application Context is ok.
4. The security policy applied to the STOCK_TRX table is ok.
5. Select and Insert from the database work.
However, after dropping both the insert and select policy, I am having problem getting a select policy to work with column-level VPD. I will get the ORA-28104 -- input value for statement type is not valid and ORA-06512 at SYS.DBMS_RLS line 20. See code below
begin
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY
('PRACTICE', 'STOCK_TRX', 'STOCK_TRX_SELECT_POLICY', 'PRACTICE', 'SECURITY_PACKAGE.STOCK_TRX_SELECT_SECURITY', 'PRICE');
end;
Note:
PRICE is the sec_relevant_cols
STOCK_TRX is the table
Can you please help.
Thx

The syntax for row level security is not the same for columns level security. All the parameters to the DBMS_RLS.ADD_Policy() function should be preceded by the type of the parameter for:
begin
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICy(object_schema=>PRACTICE, ... sec_relevant_cols=>'PRICE);
end;
I did not know this before. I thought they were there in the example for explanatory reasons. I decided to answer the question for myself because I know others have the same interpretation.

Q : Using column level VPD policies with Oracle Jdeveloper ADF BC ?

For one of our big customer, we already successfully developped a new java application using Oracle Jdeveloper with ADF, ADF BC and the Virtual Private Database (VPD) with row level policies.
Our customer has new business requirements that could be fullfilled using column level VPD policies.
Has someone already successfully (or not) developped a business application using column level VPD policies with ADF, ADF BC on Oracle 10g R2 database and OracleAS 10g (10.1.2) ?
Is it supported by Oracle ? what are the pitfalls, difficulties, problems you've met ?
Is it a viable solution and if not, why ?
Thanks in advance.
Rémy

Tomas,
my 2 cent:
if you know how to get the info from the db during run time you should be able to overwrite the frameworks message bundle look to get the description from the db instead of from the resource bundle.
Or you load all descriptions from the db into a resource bundle and use the keys in the tooltip directly.

Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), Column Level Security

Hello,
About Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), is it possible to set a Column Level Security without setting a Row Level Security (without using any predicate)?
Thanks,
Herve.

Thanks, Zoran.
A colleague shared with me a link containing a function without returning a predicate (in using SYS_CONTEXT function to skip row restriction).

Column Level VPD

Hello all,
Am I correct in thinking that if the parameters below are added to the policy, column masking will be invoked:
,sec_relevant_cols => 'sensitive_column_name'
,sec_relevant_cols_opt => DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS
As 'sensitive_column_name' has been marked as securty relevant, is the value always returned as NULL or can I return the actual value for appropriate users?
Thanks,
Rhys David

By making use of sec_relevant_cols_opt => DBMS_RLS.ALL_ROWS, all rows will get displayed. However, sensitive column values will be returned as NULL.
If a query references a sensitive column, then the default action of column-level Oracle Virtual Private Database restricts the number of rows returned. With column-masking behavior, all rows get displayed, even those that reference sensitive columns. However, the sensitive columns display as NULL values. To enable column-masking, set the sec_relevant_cols_opt parameter of the DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY procedure.
Coming to your second point:
Rhys David wrote:
As 'sensitive_column_name' has been marked as securty relevant, is the value always returned as NULL or can I return the actual value for appropriate users?Actual values will be displayed for the appropriate users(as implemented in your policy function) for all the other users who are not supposed to have access to the sensitive column NULL will be displayed.

Flex updates at a row level in a grid

I needs to updates row level in a grid for frequent basis, Also i don't want to Refresh the Grid.
Is there any method i can use ?
Using flex Grid -> updates at a row level in a grid

I mean DataGrid. I am trying to change the data rows based on realtime data feed.
First time i'll add all the Employees in the Grid. Later i'll get indivual request will change only Status column.
Is there is any other way i can update with out refresh in datagrid.
<mx:DataGrid
id="dg" height="260" width="900" x="0" y="20">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="EmpID" dataField="EmpID" width="10" visible="false"/>

In SharePoint Calendar lists, fields [Start Time] and [End Time] do not exist at the Site Column level.

<header style="box-sizing:border-box;color:#777777;line-height:1;font-size:13px;padding-right:46px;margin-bottom:3px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif;">
</header>
I'm doing SP app development and have the following problem.
I need to check Start time and End Time in SharePoint Calendar using CAML query and then add a new event to Calendar list using the Start time and End Time that user has entered in 2 datapickers
in the form.
function AddCalendarListItems() {
var SD = document.getElementById("datepicker1").value;
var SThh = document.getElementById("St1").value;
var STmm = document.getElementById("St2").value;
var ED = document.getElementById("datepicker2").value;
var EThh = document.getElementById("Et1").value;
var ETmm = document.getElementById("Et2").value;
var T = document.getElementById("Title").value;
var S1 = SThh;
SD = SD.slice(6, 10) + "-" + SD.slice(0, 2) + "-" + SD.slice(3, 5) + "T" + SThh + STmm + ":00Z";
ED = ED.slice(6, 10) + "-" + ED.slice(0, 2) + "-" + ED.slice(3, 5) + "T" + EThh + ETmm + ":00Z";
//alert("SD= " + SD + " , ED= " + ED);
var siteUrl = SiteCollurl + "/SharePointApp11";
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Calendar');
var ListItemCInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
var newEvent = oList.addItem(ListItemCInfo);
newEvent.set_item("Title", T);
newEvent.set_item("EventDate", SD);
newEvent.set_item("EndDate", ED);
newEvent.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryAddCalendarSucceeded2), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryAddCalendarFailed2));
function onQueryAddCalendarSucceeded2(sender, args) {
alert("Success");
function onQueryAddCalendarFailed2(sender, args) {
alert('Add new item to the calendar failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
But I receive the following error:
Add new item to the Calendar failed. Column 'Start time' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.
I've checked and 'Start time' does exist. So it seems in SharePoint Calendar lists, field [Start Time] and [End Time] exist but do not exist at the Site Column level.
Please advise.

Hi Khojasteh,
Use “EventDate” for Start Time field, and “EndDate” for End Time field. They are the internal name of the two fields, you can check it in the column settings page url like “Field=EndDate”.
If it isn’t the issue, please debug the code, in which line the error occurs.
Thanks,
Qiao

Row and Column Level Select Permission

Hello Friends,
I am using Oracle Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 and Windows XP. I have two questions. How to set :
1. Row Level Select Permission?
2.Column Level Select Permission?
1. I have a table having 100 records in it. I don’t want to allow all the user to see them; means, if user1, user2 and user3 are going to select * from mytable then only they can get all the rows; while other users (including sys) should not able to get all rows, they should be capable of from 11th record.
Though it can be managed by using another table, but I am just finding the other solution.
2. Likewise, if I don’t want to allow to fetch all the columns; suppose column4 is having confidential info and only be visible by user1,user2 and user3 only, not by any othr user; what should I do?
Please guide and help me.
Regards

You would need to use Virtual Private Database (VPD)/ row level security (RLS) to apply row-level security policies to the table. The DBMS_RLS package is used for this
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_rls.htm#sthref6168
Unfortunately, column-level security wasn't available in 9.2. You would need to upgrade to Oracle 10g to get that functionality. Before that, you would have to create views that selected appropriate subsets of columns and grant permissions on those views to different users.

Content location mass update at the site level

Hi,
I am looking for a way to mass update the content location at the site level. Right now, we can do the mass update at the folder level. We have about 80 folders or so. Is there a way we can mass update the starting url at the site level?
Environment: Oracle iLearning 5.2.1
Thanks
Sud

If you are mass updating the content location, you need to inspect the following three tables in the ILEARN schema.
Table Columns Description
content_server host, physical_directory Content Server Definition
rco starting_url Self Explanatory
host_adapter adapter_path CMI Adapter
You might not have to change all of them, if you are only changing the path and not the host.

Column level table audit

Hi Friendz,
Is there a ulitity audit for table at column level? Say, if I update a column SALARY in table EMP, it will reflect that the SALARY was changed and save in the audit_trail.
Can you share me sample trigger similar to this please.
Thanks a lot.

Record column level changes of table for audit.

Hi Experts,
I need suggestion on recording column level changes in table for internal aduit purposes, our company policy does not allow us to enable CDC and CT on database levels so I am looking for whar are other the best ways for doing the same ?
I know we can use triggers and OUTpUT clause to record the changes on tables but Is there any other light weight solution for recording changes on transactions tables which very gaint tables.
Seeking your guidnace on solution side ?
Shivraj Patil.

OUTPUT should be the best choice for your case as this would be much lighter than Trigger.

Column level trigger

Hi All -
I have a table which has 6 columns
create table main_tbl
(p_id integer,
p_lname varchar2(20),
p_fname varchar2(20),
p_dept varchar2(15),
p_office varchar2(15),
p_ind char(1)
And I have a corresponding audit/history table
create table main_tbl_audit
(p_id integer,
p_lname varchar2(20),
p_fname varchar2(20),
p_dept varchar2(15),
p_office varchar2(15),
p_ind char(1)
As part of the application audit process, I want to move a record from main_tbl to main_tbl_audit only when a column value changes. I can do this using a column level trigger but if I use column level trigger and if for example 3 values are changed in the main_tbl at once then it will create 3 different rows in the main_tbl_audit table.
Is there a way to always create one row in main_tbl_audit table even if a record in the main_tbl table has one or more column value changes.
Please share your expertise.
Thanks,
Seenu001

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a "column-level trigger" since there is no such thing in Oracle. You can specify a list of columns in the OF clause of a row-level trigger, so I'm guessing that's what you're talking about. But then I don't understand why you would get three rows in the audit table. Unless you created three different row-level triggers each of which specified a single column?
Why wouldn't you simply have a single row-level trigger that compared the old and new values, i.e. (ignoring NULLs)
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_audit_main
BEFORE UPDATE ON main_tbl
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF( :new.p_lname != :old.p_lname or
:new.p_fname != :old.p_fname or
THEN
INSERT INTO main_tbl_audit ...
END IF;
END;Justin

Help with column-level RLS

So I've started trying column-level RLS. But I don't know how to write the Function. Can somebody help?
I want users in the same office and dept to see full details about the employees in their office, but masked fname, lname, salary of employees in other offices and depts.
-- Table:
'emp' contains columns: fname, lname, address, city, office, dept, position, salary
'user' contains columns: username, office, dept
-- Policy:
BEGIN
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY(object_schema=>'appschema',
object_name=>'emp',
policy_name=>'emp_privacy_policy',
function_schema=>'appschema',
policy_function=>'emp_privacy',
sec_relevant_cols=>'lname, fname, salary',
sec_relevant_cols_opt=>dbms_rls.ALL_ROWS);
END;
-- Function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION emp_privacy (username IN VARCHAR2, office IN VARCHAR2, dept IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
con VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
con := 'dept = (select dept from USER where username = nvl(v(''APP_USER''),USER) AND office = (select office from USER where username = nvl(v(''APP_USER''),USER)';
RETURN (con);
END emp_privacy;

Look at the demos in Morgan's Library under DBMS_FGAC at www.psoug.org.
Then just follow the examples to build your own.
