Re: Fooling an Oracle application

From: Bruce Bristol <ovmail1.xzbhky_at_eds.com> Is there a way I can fool an application with a view in such a way that it  receives more data than a column contains? <<

If you change the view to return concatenated column values to which you assign  a label may do part of what you want. Creating an extra column is fairly  easy, but returning data when the table column no longer exists may be a  little tougher. You can return constants and try to derive data using  functions like substr, and decode plus ones you write yourself.

Hope this helps.
