Hi, Sallie - in my last “real” DBA job, before I moved to Quest and started
doing Sales Engineering stuff; we used Virtual Private Database for just
exactly the same type of thing you outlined.

We had one column in one table that contained a Tax ID number, and needed to
protect it.   VPD was the easiest solution for us.

I might have some examples, or be able to come up with something when I’m  back
in my (home) office later today.

At least then (Oracle 11), it did require Advanced Security.

What are your thoughts/experiences with encryption?
We have one very old database that stores SSN in several tables (did I say it
is old and definitely not normalized?).   The system is currently being
rewritten but in the meantime, we are looking to see Oracle options for
encryption.  In your experiences how have you handled just one element
encryption or one element in several locations?

I’m also assuming this will require an additional license – is that correct?
