Hello folks,
I'm using Oracle 9i.
I know that one user can grant the privilege "SELECT ON TABELE_NAME" to another.
My question is: How can one user grant a SELECT ON A TABLE COLUMN to another? Is this possible ?
Thanks for any help.

If you mean: there is a table (T1) with 4 columns (say C1, C2, C3 and C4) and you only want the other user to be able to select columns C3 and C4?

If so, I haven't heard of any grant option that does this. However, if it's important that the user can not select from C1 and C2, just create a view as select C3, C4 from T1 and grant select on that view to that user (and not on T1 itself).

I know you didn't ask that, but nevertheless: as long as it is impossible to GRANT SELECT on a particular column, you could GRANT UPDATE or INSERT on a column using this syntax (Oracle 10g; I'm not sure about earlier versions):

GRANT UPDATE (column_name) ON table_name TO another_user;
