You can protect Oracle Database Vault tables using Oracle Label Security just as you would do for an Oracle Database table. In addition, Oracle Label Security can be used together with Database Vault features. You can assign Oracle Label Security labels to Database Vault Factors. These labels are then merged with the user clearance labels, following the algorithms documented in chapter 4.4.5 of the OLS admin guide: “Merging Labels with the MERGE_LABEL Function”, before access control decisions are being made by comparing the merged user labels with the row labels. The following example on the Oracle Technology Network Web site also discusses using Oracle Label security alongwith Oracle Database Vault features: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/database-security/howtos/ols_dbv-how-to.
