Sorry, important add-in,
this should work too
dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.DESencrypt(
input_string => data,
key_string => key,
encrypted_string => ddata);

help! I am by no means the world's best PL/SQL programmer (heck, I can
barely program in it, PL/SQL 101 is on my desk at home)
I am trying to see how hard it would be to add encryption to sensitive data
in our database, so I'm playing with DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.
I created a table:
SQL> desc test_encrypt
Name Null? Type
------------------------------- -------- ----
COL1 VARCHAR2(10)
COL2 VARCHAR2(10)
and wrote a quick and dirty PL/SQL anonymous block:
begin
declare
encrypted_str varchar2(10);
inp_string varchar2(10);
begin
inp_string := '123456';
dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.desencrypt(inp_string,'lksdjfasljf',encrypted_str);
insert into test_encrypt values (inp_string,encrypted_str);
commit;
end;
end;
/
when I run this, I get the following error:
dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.desencrypt
(inp_string,'lksdjfasljf',encrypted_str);
*
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-06550: line 7, column 6:
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'DESENCRYPT' match this call
ORA-06550: line 7, column 6:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
now, I KNOW that they overload the procedure, they say so in the
dbmsobtk.sql file in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
but what am I doing wrong that it's not recognizing that I'm using varchar
not raw and accepting what I input???
Not urgent, but annoying
