Using VPD in combination with a user table?

724687Feb 9 2010 — edited Feb 9 2010
I'm very new with VPD's. In fact, I don't know a thing about it yet (I know the philosophy behind it and the principle, but not the practical implementation). My question: Are VPD's always based on database-users? Our applications have a user-table now, where the access rights to applications are stored. Once a user is present in that table and has the necessary rights, he can login to the application. So we don't have an actual database-user for each "real-life" user, just an entry in a table.

Is it possible to use the system of VPD's (and maybe Oracle Label Security) with users stored in a table, instead of actual database users?
