Jeff,

You have to use a view to restrict columns.

If permissions or synonyms won't do the job correctly, you can use VPD to 
restrict a particular community of users from accessing the table, and permit 
them to use the view instead, and vice-versa.

Hope this helps!

We have a requirement to disallow access to a few columns of a table. Any 
suggestions on how to do this? I was thinking of Virtual Private Database but 
that would exclude the entire row.
