Common Keywords and Clauses

The following keywords and clauses are valid for both the GRANT and REVOKE commands:

system_privilege

A system privilege, as described in the earlier “System Privileges” section.

role

An existing role.

ALL PRIVILEGES

Grants or revokes all system privileges except SELECT ANY DICTIONARY. For objects, grants all privileges that you have for the object, and the keyword PRIVILEGES is optional.

grantee

Can be one or more users, roles, or the keyword PUBLIC, which grants or revokes the privilege to all database users. If multiple grantees are specified, they should be separated by commas.

object_privilege

An object privilege, as described earlier in this chapter.

column_name
