 Data Control Language (DCL)
• Used for controlling the access to database objects for users. Generally
these statements will be used by DBA people to control the access of users
to the database.
• We have 2 DCL statements available in SQL.

1.GRANT

2. REVOKE

 GRANT
• Grant will be used for giving permissions on the database to users. Using this we can
give any type of permissions to the users on the database.

For example if we want to give Select permission on all the database tables to a user,

GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO user_name;

If we want to give select permission on specific table then

GRANT SELECT ON tab_name TO user_name;

Like this we can give any privilege to the users on the database.

Grant:

• Create login login_name with password=‘password'

• Create user user_name for login login_name

• Grant connect to user_name

• Grant privilege on table_name to user_name

ExampleGrant: Insertion for Abel to employee table

• Create login log1 with password=‘abc'

• Create user Abel for login log1

• Grant connect to Abel

• Grant select on employee to Abel
