EXPERIMENT NO. 8

AIM: Perform DCL and TCL commands.

OBJECTIVES: Learn to implement different DCL statements to allow or restrict the user from
accessing data in database schema.

THEORY:

DCL stands for Data Control Language. DCL is used to control user access in a database. This

command is related to the security issues. Using DCL command, it allows or restricts the user from

accessing data in database schema.

In DCL we have two commands,

• GRANT: Used to provide any user access privileges or other privileges for the database.

• REVOKE: Used to take back permissions from any user.

1. GRANT COMMAND

GRANT command gives user's access privileges to the database. This command allows specified users
to perform specific tasks.

Syntax:
GRANT <privilege list>
ON <relation name or view name>
TO <user/role list>;

Example : GRANT Command

GRANT SELECT ,UPDATE, DELETE ON employee

TO ABC;
NOTE: If all permission required in one go then use
Syntax

Department of EXTC, SIES GST

GRANT ALL ON employee
TO ABC;
[WITH GRANT OPTION]

In the above example, user 'ABC' has been given permission to view and modify the records in the
'employee' table.

2. REVOKE COMMAND

REVOKE command is used to cancel previously granted or denied permissions. This command
withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command. It takes back permissions from
user.

Syntax:
REVOKE <privilege list>
ON <relation name or view name>
FROM <user name>;

Example : REVOKE Command

REVOKE UPDATE
ON employee
FROM ABC;

BEGIN:

UPDATE:
