Greetings,
I'm trying to implement row-level security on a 9.0.1 database (let's say database AA). The user will be reaching the database through a Discoverer Portlet displayed in Portal 9.2 which is on a machine remote from database AA.
I'd like to assign a VPD predicate based upon the lightweight portal username. The question is, what function returns the portal username that I can call from database AA? I need something like like the equivalent of SYSCONTEXT('userenv','current_user'), but where 'current user' is really 'lightweight portal user'. Anybody know how to do this? Or is there some other way of performing this task? Thanks! John Received on Fri Oct 18 2002 - 10:44:19 CDT
