Error ORA-918 When Adding VPD Policy To A Table With Hidden And Virtual Column (Doc ID 2053352.1)

NOTE: In the images and/or the document content below, the user information and data used represents fictitious data from the Oracle sample schema(s) or Public Documentation delivered with an Oracle database product. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner. 

We create and alter a table as follows:

create table test1
    (v1  varchar2 (30),
     cloud_vpd_mandant number (8) invisible
            default sys_context('cloud_context', 'Mandant') ) ;

alter table test1 add virt_col INVISIBLE generated always as (1+1)  virtual;

Then we add a simple VPD policy returning predicate '1=1' for select.

Then we get:

SQL> select virt_col from test1;
select virt_col from test1
       *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined

With a VPD policy for insert/update/delete the error becomes:

SQL> select *  from test1 for update of virt_col;
select *  from test1 for update of virt_col
               *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28113: policy predicate has error
