Oracle Introduction

DCL commands are used to granting and revoking the permissions.

GRANT :

This is used to grant the privileges to other users.

Syntax:
Grant <privileges> on <object_name> to <user_name> [with grant option];

Ex:

SQL> grant select on student to sudha;
-- you can give individual privilege

SQL> grant select, insert on student to sudha;
-- you can give set of privileges

SQL> grant all on student to sudha;
-- you can give all privileges

The sudha user has to use dot method to access the object.
SQL> select * from saketh.student;

The sudha user can not grant permission on student table to other users. To get this type of option use the following.
SQL> grant all on student to sudha with grant option;

Now sudha user also grant permissions on student table.

REVOKE :

This is used to revoke the privileges from the users to which you granted the privileges.

Syntax:
Revoke <privileges> on <object_name> from <user_name>;

Ex:

SQL> revoke select on student form sudha;
-- you can revoke individual privilege

SQL> revoke select, insert on student from sudha;
-- you can revoke set of privileges

SQL> revoke all on student from sudha;
-- you can revoke all privileges
