Hi Kevin,
Is there any reason why it's not the default in 11g? One user asked me and I 
don't know a good answer.
I'm convinced of its advantage and will set db_securefile to always on all our 
databases. Thanks.

Yong

 There are no known edge cases where BasicFiles works better than SecureFiles, 
other than MSSM tablespaces. This is one of the reasons we made SecureFiles the 
default starting in Oracle Database 12c.

  Of course the setting change only applies to newly created lobs after the 
setting is changed. LOBs created before have to be converted through a 
move/reorganize. 
  Of course the tablespace has to be ASSM or you will get the respective error. 
  We own advanced compression and advanced security and the deduplicte that 
come with advanced compression has proven very beneficial for several of our 
apps. 
  The Lob compression works very well and I have found medium compression on 
LOBS to work well. I tried high but the CPU usage outweighed the benefit for 
our needs. 
  As always YMMV

  Now I have a question. Can anybody think of anything bad about setting 
db_securefile to always in Oracle 11g so all LOBs are created as  SecureFile 
instead of BasicFile? We're recommended to use SecureFile LOB (see Doc 
1467662.1 and many others), and it's the default in 12c. Other than the 
restriction that SecureFile LOB can't be created in a non-ASSM i.e. MSSM 
tablespace, I see only benefit,  no disadvantage. Without the advanced security 
or compression license, users have to be careful not to accidentally add 
certain clauses to trigger usage of these licenses. But that's a minor concern.
