Explanation:
About Altering the Default Full Data Redaction Value
Youcanalter the default displayed values for full Data Redaction polices. By default, 0 is the
redacted value when Oracle Database performs full redaction (DBMS_REDACT.FULL) on a
column of the NUMBER data type. If you want to change it to another value (for example, 7), then
you can run the DBMS_REDACT.UPDATE_FULL_REDACTION_VALUES procedure to modify
this value. The modification applies to all of the Data Redaction policies in the current database
instance. After you modify a value, you must restart the database for it to take effect.
Note:
* The DBMS_REDACT package provides an interface to Oracle Data Redaction, which enables
you to mask (redact) data that is returned from queries issued by low-privileged users or an
application.
* UPDATE_FULL_REDACTION_VALUES Procedure
This procedure modifies the default displayed values for a Data Redaction policy for full redaction.

* After you create the Data Redaction policy, it is automatically enabled and ready to redact data.
* Oracle Data Redaction enables you to mask (redact) data that is returned from queries issued by
low-privileged users or applications. You can redact column data by using one of the following
methods:
/ Full redaction.
/ Partial redaction.
/ Regular expressions.
/ Random redaction.
/ No redaction.

E is correct.

Use the UPDATE_FULL_REDACTION_VALUES procedure to modify the default displayed
values for full redaction. After you modify a value, you must restart the database for it to take effect. You can find the current values by querying the REDACTION_VALUES_FOR_TYPE_FULL data dictionary view.

step 3. After you modify a valu, you must restart the database for it to take effect. If you only flush the buffer cache, the real value of the column will displayed.
