Seema, FGAC, which is supported by the supplied PL/SQL package DBMS_RLS (Row Level Security), is only available in Oracle8i Enterprise Edition.
Even if you just have Standard Edition, you can get a lot of similar benefit by using Application Context, which you would need to use anyway to implement FGAC properly. Both worked very nicely for me - at least in 8.1.6. Jack -------------------------------- Jack C. Applewhite Database Administrator/Developer OCP Oracle8 DBA iNetProfit, Inc.
