Pseudo Columns

Pseudocolumns act like table columns but are not stored in the table, allowing selection but not modification of their values. They differ from functions without arguments by returning unique values for each row. The document outlines various types of pseudocolumns, including hierarchical, sequence, and version query pseudocolumns, among others.

Pseudocolumns

A pseudocolumn behaves like a table column, but is not actually stored in the
table. You can
select from pseudocolumns, but you cannot insert, update, or delete their values.
A
pseudocolumn is also similar to a function without arguments (refer to
Functions). However,
functions without arguments typically return the same value for every row in the
result set,
whereas pseudocolumns typically return a different value for each row.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Hierarchical Query Pseudocolumns
• Sequence Pseudocolumns
• Version Query Pseudocolumns
• COLUMN_VALUE Pseudocolumn
• OBJECT_ID Pseudocolumn
• OBJECT_VALUE Pseudocolumn
• ORA_ROWSCN Pseudocolumn
