ANSI Compliance
This statement is a Teradata extension to the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.
Required Privileges
- User DBC.
- An owner of the object.
For details regarding security issues associated with owner privileges, see Security Considerations With the CREATE MACRO Privilege
- A user possessing each privilege to be granted.
A user can have a privilege by having been granted it explicitly or by inheriting it from a role as a result of creating a view, macro, or procedure.
- OVERRIDE DELETE CONSTRAINT
- OVERRIDE DUMP CONSTRAINT
- OVERRIDE INSERT CONSTRAINT
- OVERRIDE RESTORE CONSTRAINT
- OVERRIDE SELECT CONSTRAINT
- OVERRIDE UPDATE CONSTRAINT
- A user need not be related to a grantor through ownership to receive a privilege.
A grantor does not need to have any privilege, including WITH ADMIN OPTION, on the grantee to grant a privilege to it, whether the grantee is a role, a user, database, or PUBLIC.
- If a GRANT statement is on a database or user, the privilege applies to all objects, both current and future, created in that space.
If a REVOKE statement later removes the privilege, the privilege is dropped for all objects, regardless of when they were created.
A REVOKE statement at the object level cannot remove a privilege from that object that was granted on the database or user.
- When you specify the WITH GRANT OPTION phrase, the recipient of the privilege can then grant that privilege to other users.
An owner implicitly has the WITH GRANT OPTION privilege on any database, user, or object it owns.
An owner can explicitly grant any or all privileges on any of the following The Privilege Can Be Granted To - a child database
- a child user
- a database object
- any other database
- any other user
- a role
- PUBLIC
You cannot assign row-level security privileges to PUBLIC.
- Any privilege granted automatically or explicitly can be revoked using the REVOKE statement.
See REVOKE (SQL Form).
- Implicit privileges cannot be revoked.
When Privileges Are Granted
GRANT takes effect immediately when the grantee issues their next statement. You do not need to log out to receive a privilege that was just granted to you.
