Oracle Database Vault provides a set of DBA-style data dictionary views that can be accessed through the DV_SECANALYST role or the DV_ADMIN role. (Alternatively, you can run reports on Oracle Database Vault. See Chapter 18, "Oracle Database Vault Reports," for more information.) These views provide access to the various underlying Oracle Database Vault tables in the DVSYS and LBACSYS schemas without exposing the primary and foreign key columns that may be present. These views are intended for the database administrative user to report on the state of the Oracle Database Vault configuration without having to perform the joins required to get the labels for codes that are stored in the core tables or from the related tables.
The DVSYS.DBA_DV_CODE data dictionary view lists generic lookup codes for the user interface, error messages, constraint checking, and so on. These codes are used for the user interface, views, and for validating input in a translatable fashion.
For example:
SELECT CODE, VALUE FROM DVSYS.DBA_DV_CODE WHERE CODE_GROUP = 'BOOLEAN';
Output similar to the following appears:
CODE VALUE ------- -------- Y True N False
| Column | Datatype | Null | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CODE_GROUP |

|
CODE |
VARCHAR(30) |
NOT NULL |
Boolean code used; either Y (yes) or N (no). |
VALUE |
VARCHAR(4000) |
Boolean value used; either True if the Boolean code is Y or False if the Boolean code is N. |
|
LANGUAGE |
