Hi

Has anyone else experienced the following ?

Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on Red Hat 6.2 Kernel 2.2.19

Table X in database A contains data encrypted using obfuscation toolkit.
Table Y in database B is materialised view of table X.

1. When I decrypt table X using o t I get my data.
2. When I decrypt table Y using o t I get an ORA 28232 - Invalid input
length for obfuscation toolkit.
3. When I e.g. select decrypt(col1) from (select * from X@A), I get an ORA
28232 - Invalid input length for obfuscation toolkit.
4. And ... when I export A and import to C and then select decrypt(col1)
from A, I get an ORA 28232 - Invalid input length for obfuscation toolkit. 

For case 1 when I select length(col1), I get 24 for all rows.
For cases 2, 3, and 4 when I select length(col1) rather than decrypt(col1),
I get a variety of numbers from 2 to 24.

Is there any way to access the data without decrypting it on database A
first ?

Thanks in advance
Greg
