Which statement allows privileges on database to users?

This chapter describes PointBase security and privileges. Schemas are an integral part of security in PointBase. When creating a PointBase user, they do not have any access privileges to schemas or other data objects within the database. The PointBase RDBMS only permits the schema owner to grant privileges to the schema and data objects within the schema. The schema owner can grant privileges to the following data objects in the schema:

SQL Procedures and Functions

Table 1 describes the privileges that the schema owner can grant users for tables and columns:

Table 1 : User Privileges for Tables and Columns

Privilege Statements	Privilege Description
DELETE	Allows a user to delete rows from tables within the schema
INSERT	Allows a user to insert rows of data into tables within the schema
REFERENCES	Allows a user to set up references to primary keys within the schema
SELECT	Allows a user to select rows from tables within the schema
TRIGGER	Allows a user to create triggers on tables within the schema
UPDATE	Allows a user to update rows in tables within the schema
EXECUTE	Allows users to execute functions or stored procedures within the schema

Granting and Revoking Privileges

When a PointBase database is first created the only user is the default user PUBLIC with a password of PUBLIC. The PUBLIC user owns the default PUBLIC schema. For security reasons, PointBase does not recommend using this schema to store sensitive data. Like any PointBase user, PUBLIC must be granted the appropriate privileges to access data objects in schema owned by other users.

The PUBLIC user can be used initially to create new users and new schema. The PUBLIC user will own any new schema that it creates unless otherwise specified during schema creation. New users are then able to create their own new schema and users, and grant appropriate privileges on schema that they own. All new users must be granted privileges to use the PUBLIC schema if this is required.

To grant the ability for a user to pass a privilege on to other users once granted, you must specify the optional WITH GRANT OPTION qualifier when granting the privilege.

GRANT Statement Syntax

GRANT privilege-list

ON object

TO user-list [ WITH GRANT OPTION ]

Use the GRANT statement to grant privileges on a data object. The following describes the GRANT statement syntax.

Privilege-list Syntax

privilege [ , privilege [ , privilege ]...] | ALL PRIVILEGES

Privilege Syntax

SELECT [ ( column-name [ , column-name ]...)]

| DELETE

| INSERT [ ( column-name [ , column-name ]...)]

| UPDATE [ ( column-name [ , column-name ]...)]

| REFERENCES [ ( column-name [ , column-name ]...)]

| TRIGGER [ ( column-name [ , column-name ]...)]

| EXECUTE

Usage Notes

If you do not include one or more of these privileges in the GRANT statement, an error will be raised.
If the optional column-names are not specified for the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, REFERENCES and TRIGGER privileges, the GRANT is applied to every column in the table to which the grant is applied.
If you execute a GRANT statement that contains privileges that you don't have or for which you do not have the right to grant, then PointBase raises an error.

Object Syntax

[ TABLE ] table-name

|SPECIFIC routine_type specific_routine-name

|routine_type routine_name (parameter_types_list)

[ TRIGGER ] trigger-name

Usage Notes

If you grant a privilege on an SQL Function or Procedure, then the user can only EXECUTE that SQL Function or Procedure. The user cannot access tables that the SQL Function or Procedure uses.

User-list Syntax

user [ , user ]... [WITH GRANT OPTION] | PUBLIC

Usage Notes

If you do not specify WITH GRANT OPTION, the user cannot pass the same privilege on to others. However, if you do specify WITH GRANT OPTION, you have given the user permission to pass on the privilege to other users.
Granting a privilege to the user PUBLIC only grants the privilege to the default PointBase PUBLIC user and is not the same as granting a global privilege to all users.
If you grant a privilege with the optional WITH GRANT OPTION and then grant the same privilege without this option (without first revoking the original privilege) the user retains the WITH GRANT OPTION.

Examples

The following statement grants the SELECT privilege on the CUSTOMER_TBL table to the user MARKETING_MGR.

GRANT SELECT

ON customer_tbl

TO marketing_mgr;

The following GRANT statement allows the user FINANCIAL_MGR to delete, insert and update rows from the DISCOUNT_CODE_TBL table; it also allows this user to grant the same privileges to others.

GRANT DELETE,INSERT,UPDATE

ON discount_code_tbl

TO financial_mgr

WITH GRANT OPTION;

The following GRANT statement allows the user HR_MGR to have ALL PRIVILEGES on the table SALES_REP_DATA_TBL. However, the user HR_MGR will only be granted privileges that the user granting the privileges has the right to grant. For example, if the user granting the privileges does not have the right to grant DELETE privileges, the HR_MGR will not have the delete privilege.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES

ON sales_rep_data_tbl

TO hr_mgr

REVOKE Statement Syntax

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] privilege_list

ON object

FROM user_name [ RESTRICT | CASCADE ]

The REVOKE statement takes privileges away from users. The arguments are similar to the GRANT statement. The major difference is the additional RESTRICT or CASCADE keyword and the GRANT OPTION FOR clause. The following describes the optional clauses GRANT OPTION FOR and RESTRICT or CASCADE.

NOTE: If none of the privileges that you are trying to revoke actually exist, an error is raised.

RESTRICT | CASCADE

If you use RESTRICT keyword, the privilege will be revoked only from the specified user. If the specified user granted had the WITH GRANT OPTION and granted the same privilege to other users, they will retain the privilege.

If you use CASCADE, it will revoke the privilege and any dependent privileges as a result of your grant. A dependent privilege is one that could exist, if you granted the privilege that you're trying to revoke, which is what you are trying to achieve as a result of your REVOKE statement.

If the optional RESTRICT or CASCADE keywords are not used, PointBase uses RESTRICT by default.

GRANT OPTION FOR

If he optional GRANT OPTION FOR clause is used, the WITH GRANT OPTION right is revoked. The actual privilege itself is not revoked. the GRANT OPTION is revoked. CASCADE and RESTRICT may be used in the same way as a normal REVOKE statement.

What is user access privileges to a database?

To GRANT ALL privileges to a user , allowing that user full control over a specific database , use the following syntax: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

What is used to control privileges in database?

MySQL uses the db table to determine which database a user can access and from which host. A privilege granted at the database level in the db table applies to the database and all objects belong to that database e.g., tables, triggers, views, stored procedures, etc.

How do you add privileges to a database?

If we want to grant all the privileges of all the databases to the newly created user then we will execute the following command. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *. * TO 'maadi'@'localhost'; To check the privileges granted to the user we can check by the command.

Which SQL statement grants a privilege to all the database users?

You can use the SQL GRANT statement to grant SQL SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, and other privileges on tables or views. The WITH GRANT OPTION clause indicates that JONES can grant to other users any of the SQL privileges you granted for the ORDER_BACKLOG table.
