Advantage Concepts
In general, the CONTAINS, SCORE, and SCOREDISTINCT scalar functions obey column level permissions the same as other functions. In one case, however, they are stricter. Normally with level 1 permissions (ADS_DD_TABLE_PERMISSION_LEVEL_1), it is possible to search columns that do not have read permissions. When using the form of the FTS scalar functions with the asterisk (*) as the first parameter, only fields with read permissions will be searched.
