| From: | | Victor Sokovin |
| | The revoke statements are passive. In case Database A didn't have any access over B and you executed revoke select access of A on B it
doesn't provide any error message. Can any one please explain what was the rational behind this standard? Can the same be explained for Grant too
as below? | |
I'm afraid I don't know what the rational was. It might be worth comparing this with the ANSI recommendations but I cannot look them up right
now. However, I did quickly check this on Oracle, and Oracle does issue an error in this case.
| | In case A had access "GRANT SELECT ON A To B with GRANT OPTION" it doesn't remove the grant authority on executing "GRANT SELECT on A
TO B". | |
For what that might be worth, Oracle is doing the same. Again, I don't know off-hand whether this is in line with the ANSI recommendations.
I'll try to look them up but it might take some time before I can get hold of them.
Regards,
Victor
