Evaluation Order of the Rules

Learn about the order in which the Database Firewall rules are evaluated or applied.

There can be multiple rules within a rule type. The table below lists the order in which they are applied or evaluated.

Session Context	Session Context rules are applied in the order they are listed in the policy overview page.
SQL Statement	SQL Statement rules are applied in the order they are listed in the policy overview page.
