Create Views and Trigger
Views and triggers allow applications to interact with the encrypted data in a seamless fashion. When a view is created on a table, the base table is renamed and a view is created with the original name of the table. Additionally, unique triggers are created for inserts and updates.
Views and triggers are created as part of the data migration. Perform this operation only if the views and triggers were previously deleted.
To recreate views and triggers, a user must have the following permissions within the schema in which the table resides:
Connect
Create any view
Drop any view
Create any trigger
Drop any trigger
