Re: Grant column level permissions

Yup. I read it and tired couple of ways but couldn't figured out how to
specify column names. It gives me below error message and hence, I asked for
the example.

GRANT { { SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | REFERENCES } ( *column* [, ...] )
[,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] ( *column* [, ...] ) }
ON [ TABLE ] *tablename* [, ...]
TO { [ GROUP ] *rolename* | PUBLIC } [, ...] [ WITH GRANT OPTION ]

techdb=# grant select(column['description']) ON techtable TO user1;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "column"
LINE 1: grant select(column['description']) ON techtable TO user1;
^

Thanks,
Dipti.
