None of that implies it's not appending a where clause like it was explained. It uses the context values (if that's the case) in a function which then returns a string. That string is then appended as a predicate to the original statement. That means the original statement is then re-parsed. It's the reason why you need query-rewrite enabled in FGAC. So, you get a lot of parsing. I don't know of any way of passing a context value as a true bind variable in a return string which is appended as a predicate. It certainly is not explained anywhere in the manual how to do it and I couldn't find anything in the literature and asktom either. Appreciate if anyone can explain how. A dynamically generated string is not the same as a bind variable.
