Demo code for Ghost Data in Indexes

NOTE: all demo data is fake.

This is the demo code for encrypting data where there is an existing index. We are starting with a table customers_tst that is in the unencrypted tablespace dat.

  1. start with dropping the old test objects.
  2. create two small tablespaces small_idx and dat.
  3. create the customers_tst table as a subset of customers.
  4. create an index on customers_tst(ssn)
  5. alter the table customers_tst to add encryption to ssn and cc_nbr. Because ssn has an index we are not using salt.
  6. We then alter the index to rebuild. Because Oracle marks block as free and does not erase them, the old index still exists.
  7. We check for ghost data in small_indx.dbf and dat.dbf.
  8. We confirm that there is ghost data and then drop the index.
  9. Once we drop the tablespace, we can then turn our attention on shredding the ghost data.
