Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Is the ability to do "field-level" encryption free in Enterpr
Yes, free with the purchase of Enterprise.
But the implementation is yours to deal with.
I created a login procedure with PL/SQL based on DBMS_OBFUS... and created the encrypted data in the table and a table with the key tied to the record. So each row had a seperate algorythm.

Enterprise Edition?
We are in the process of upgrading most of our databases to 8.1.7.1 (Enterprise Edition) on Sun Solaris 2.6.
We need to be able to do field-level encryption of some of our data. I
think that we should be able to
do so with DBMS_OBFUSCATION. Is DBMS_OBFUSCATION free with 8.1.7.1
Enterprise Edition?
Are there other standard methods/tools that we can use within Oracle to do
this field-level encryption?
If yes, are they free or part of an add-on bundle? If add-on, which
add-on?
I've been trying to research this on Technet but having difficulty
correlating functionality with cost.
My boss wants the answer today so I thought I'd throw it out to the crowd.
Thanks in advance,
