GRANT (Monitor Form) Statement| SQL Data Control Language | Teradata Vantage - GRANT (Monitor Form) - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

Grants system-wide performance monitoring privileges.

Required Privileges

You must have MONITOR privileges to use the monitor form of GRANT.

These privileges should be granted only to those users who are cleared to monitor all applications on all sessions.

There is no lower level of MONITOR privilege: its scope is always global. For example, the database administrator cannot grant user Addams the ability to do session-level monitoring of her applications only. Instead, the DBA would have to grant Addams the permission to do session-level monitoring of all applications by all sessions.

To determine who is currently using the MONITOR partition, issue the following query:

SELECT UserName, IFPNo
FROM DBC.SessionInfoV
WHERE partition = 'MONITOR';

The GRANT statement is used only to assign specific privileges.

To transfer ownership of a database or user, see GIVE.
