ORA-54050

Unsupported type or attribute on redacted column.

Cause

An attempt was made to alter a column with a redaction policy, so as to give that column an unsupported type or attribute. Virtual columns are not supported by data redaction. Columns with the INVISIBLE attribute are not supported by data redaction (this applies to both user-specified hidden columns and system-generated hidden columns). Vector encoded columns are not supported by data redaction.


Action

Specify the name of a non-redacted column, or use the DROP_POLICY PL/SQL procedure in the DBMS_REDACT package to remove the redaction policy from the column before altering it. Look in the REDACTION_POLICIES and REDACTION_COLUMNS catalog views for a list of all redaction policies and redacted columns.
