GRANT
Description
When RBAC is active, grants various privileges to the specified role(s) or user group for the database. There are different forms of the GRANT statement for multiple purposes:
To grant or remove privileges for system administration (DBA) or general creation (RESOURCE), simply enable/disable database-level permissions.
Syntax

privilege ::
{ SELECT | INSERT | DELETE | ALTER | INDEX | UPDATE }
Arguments
DBA
Allows the specified role to create, access, modify, or delete any database object and grant other users any privileges.
RESOURCE
Allows the specified role to issue CREATE statements. The RESOURCE privilege does not allow users to issue DROP statements on database objects. Only the object's owner and users with the DBA privilege can drop database objects.
SELECT
Allows the specified role to read data in the table or view.
INSERT
Allows the specified role to add new rows to the table or view.
DELETE
Allows the specified role to delete rows in the table or view
ALTER
Allows the specified role to modify the table or view
UPDATE
Allows the specified users to modify existing rows in the table or view.

ON table_name
The table or view for which FairCom DB SQL grants the specified privileges.
EXECUTE ON procedure_name
Allows execution of the specified stored procedure.
TO role_name [ , role_name ] ...
The list of roles for which FairCom DB SQL grants the specified privileges.
TO PUBLIC
Grants the specified privileges to any user with access to the system.
Examples
Note: You must commit, or turn on auto commit, to save your changes. For example, ISQL defaults to auto commit off, so if you grant a permission and exit, your changes are discarded.
