Troubleshooting FGA

Like any other complex and low-level feature in Oracle, FGA might at times produce unexpected results. In this section, I’ll go over some of the common FGA-related errors and how to handle them. Please note that I am not going to talk about FGA bugs—published or unpublished—that might affect its behavior. Bugs are often platform-specific and transient. I will instead focus on errors that can occur with typical use of FGA.

Any time there is a problem with FGA, a trace file is produced in the directory specified by the database initialization parameter USER_DUMP_DEST. This trace file shows important information about the exact error condition and offers clues for diagnosing it further. Here is an except from one such trace file:
