GRANT General Overview

GRANT General Overview

The GRANT statement enables system administrators to grant privileges and roles, which can be granted to user accounts and roles. These syntax restrictions apply:

    GRANT cannot mix granting both privileges and roles in the same statement. A given GRANT statement must grant either privileges or roles.

    The ON clause distinguishes whether the statement grants privileges or roles:

        With ON, the statement grants privileges.

        Without ON, the statement grants roles.

        It is permitted to assign both privileges and roles to an account, but you must use separate GRANT statements, each with syntax appropriate to what is to be granted.
