Granting a Permission

Function

This statement is used to grant permissions to a user or role.

Syntax

GRANT (privilege,...) ON (resource,..) TO ((ROLE [db_name].role_name) | (USER user_name)),...);

Keywords

ROLE: The subsequent role_name must be a role.

USER: The subsequent user_name must be a user.

Precautions

  • The privilege must be one of the authorizable permissions. If the object has the corresponding permission on the resource or the upper-level resource, the permission fails to be granted. For details about the permission types supported by the privilege, see Data Permissions List.

  • The resource can be a queue, database, table, view, or column. The formats are as follows:

    • Queue format: queues.queue_name

      The following table lists the permission types supported by a queue.
