GRANT Statement

The GRANT statement is used to give specific privileges to users or roles. It allows administrators to control who can perform certain operations on database objects.

Example: Granting SELECT Permission

GRANT SELECT ON FreedomFighters TO 'user123';

Output:

User user123 now has permission to select data from the FreedomFighters table.

Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Use GRANT to provide only the necessary permissions to users.
  • Regularly review granted permissions to ensure they are still appropriate.
  • Document all permissions granted for auditing purposes.

Don'ts

  • Don't grant unnecessary privileges, as it can compromise security.
  • Don't grant permissions to everyone unless absolutely required.
  • Don't forget to use the principle of least privilege when granting permissions.
