By default Oracle logs only columns that changed. The whole purpose of
supplemental logging is to enable logging for something that didn't.
If you execute
update emp set name='Bob' where emp_id=100
you won't get emp_id logged in the redo because it did not change
unless you enable supplemental logging for emp_id column (which is
required on the receiving end of the replication to resolve the row
being updated). The whole before/after image point, when applied to
supplemental logged columns, is a bit moot since the column value did
not change. The "before image" term in the doc might be a bit
confusing until you realize that.
