Re: Grant column level permissions

Ohh...sorry. It works but I am wondering why pg_namespace doesn't display any information.

techdb=> select description from techtable;

 description
-------------
(0 rows)

techdb=> select number from techtable;
ERROR:  permission denied for relation techtable

Thanks a ton.

I also tried below:

techdb=# revoke all ON techtable from public;
REVOKE
techdb=# select pc.relname, pc.relacl from pg_class pc, pg_namespace pn where pc.relnamespace=pn.oid and pn.nspname='techdb' and pc.relname='techtable';
 relname   |           relacl
-----------+-----------------------------
 techtable | {postgres=arwdDxt/postgres}
(1 row)


techdb=# GRANT SELECT (description), UPDATE (description) ON techtable TO user1;
GRANT
techdb=# select pc.relname, pc.relacl from pg_class pc, pg_namespace pn where pc.relnamespace=pn.oid and pn.nspname='techdb' and pc.relname='techtable';
 relname   |           relacl
-----------+-----------------------------
 techtable | {postgres=arwdDxt/postgres}
(1 row)

Please note that giving select permission on description column doesn't made any difference in permissions set pf pg_namespace,

techdb=# \q
> psql -h techdbdev1.lon -d techdb -E
psql (8.4.1)
Type "help" for help.

techdb=> select * from techtable;
ERROR:  permission denied for relation techtable
techdb=>

...and it gives permission denied..!

Please help me to sort this out.

Thanks.

Okay. I think I got it but it is not working the way it should. I have given select permission on one column but still it is displaying both the columns. Could you please tell me what is wrong.


techdb=# GRANT SELECT (description), UPDATE (description) ON techtable TO user1;
GRANT
sysdb=> select * from techtable;
 number | description
--------+-------------
(0 rows)

techdb=>

Thanks.

Yup. I read it and tired couple of ways but couldn't figured out how to specify column names. It gives me below error message and hence, I asked for the example.

GRANT { { SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | REFERENCES } ( column [, ...] )
[,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] ( column [, ...] ) }
ON [ TABLE ] tablename [, ...]
TO { [ GROUP ] rolename | PUBLIC } [, ...] [ WITH GRANT OPTION ]

techdb=# grant select(column['description']) ON techtable TO user1;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "column"
LINE 1: grant select(column['description']) ON techtable TO user1;
                     ^

Thanks,
Dipti.

Have you reviewed the fine documentation?
