even though schema is changed by new version

Capabilities primarily used by application developers

37
 New in 11.2
Edition-based Redefinition
How Does it Work?
Post-upgrade Edition

Maintains logical versions of changed database

objects, through:
Edition
Editioning View
Crossedition Trigger
Crossedition
PL/SQL code changes and view changes installed Triggers
in the privacy of a new edition
New data changes made to new Pre-upgrade Edition
columns/tables not seen by old edition
Editioning view exposes a private
projection of a table into each edition
Crossedition trigger propagates changes made by
old edition into new editions columns, or vice-versa
