Summary

Application security is not a substitute for database security, but it can be used to enhance database security and enforce rules that cannot be enforced through integrity constraints.

Oracle8 introduces a number of security enhancements, many of which apply to specific server options or object-oriented features. The Oracle profile has been enhanced in Oracle8 to support better security and password management; it can now be used to lock an account after a specified number of failed password attempts. For further information, please refer to Chapter 7, "Oracle8 Server."

Using application-specific stored procedures, functions, and views will enhance security and performance while simplifying the process of developing the client application. Enforcing application security through the application will result in a more intuitive and user -friendly interface.
