Re: data masking

Oracle's Data Masking can fulfill both #1 and #2.
 
Currently #2 is only for user-defined masks.  I believe Oracle is working on 
some deterministic maskings for the various templates they otherwise 
pre-deliver.

We need ship an entire schema to another site.  Some data is sensitive, which 
we'd like to mask with substitution.  Our requirements are:
1.      Table-Table Data Synchronization
A column is a join key to a column in one (or more) other tables. This means 
data
masked in one table must have synchronized data changes in a number of others.
For example, changes to the EMPLOYEE_NUMBER column in one table must trigger 
identical changes in other tables.
2.      Consistent Masking
We have to ensure that the output is consistent across multiple runs. In 
practice this means that if the name of employee Joe Smith gets changed to Bill 
Jones then the next time the database is cloned and sanitized Joe Smith should 
again appear as Bill Jones.
 
I wonder if there some existing scripts that I can download to do this.  If 
not, could someone recommend a good tool?
