title: Oracle 10g - An invisible column?
body: <p>Is it possible to 'hide' a column in an Oracle 10g database, or prevent data from being inserted altogether? We'd prefer to have existing INSERT statements still function, but have the information NOT insert for a particular column. Also, column masking or any type of encryption is not preferred.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure if it's possible, but thanks in advance. </p>
