And this is by design from the vendor.

To do that you'd either need to use views (which would necessitate changing the client code) or re-write the queries (which would necessitate changing the client code), something I doubt you have permission to do as the vendor would need to approve such changes before you implemented them else you risk losing all support for this application.

With a properly written query or a view, yes.

That's a broad categorization as '8' could reference any release from 8.0.x to 8.1.7.x, inclusive, and all of the various releases change functionality (usually for the better) as one traverses the list from 8.0.x to 8.1.7.x. What is available in 8.1.7.x may not be available in 8.0.x, rendering any assistance futile until you provide all four numbers of your Oracle release. But, even in that broad expanse of Oracle releases I doubt there is anything to available to help you in what you're wanting to do here. Have you thought of bringing this to the attention of the software vendor, and see if they provide such modifications to their code? It would appear to be a minor change to satisfy a client.
