Helmut,  

Your view strategy will work, but Oracle also allows you to grant INSERT, UPDATE, or REFERENCES privileges on individual table columns. If you ever grant INSERT privileges on a column, make sure all NOT NULL columns in the table are insertable or have NON-NULL default values.

Hi!

What would be the best way to restrict users' access to certain columns of a table?

e.g. User1 owns a table and want to grant user2 the right to update only certain columns in that table. What would be the best way to implement this?

Using a view and granting user2 update rights on the view?

This is 9.2 on Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
