The policy function is not re-evaluated at statement execution time unless the server detects context changes since the last use of the cursor" ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Beckstrom Sent: 26 March 2010 19:32 To: oracle-l-freelists; oracle-db-l Subject: dbms_rls.context_sensitive I am a little confused about the various types of security types. Does dbms_rls.context_sensitive cause the policy to be re-evaluated every time the table is accessed in the same session?
