Re: Assigning select on specific column to a user

Can't do ...

Only the INSERT, UPDATE, and REFERENCES privelges can specify a column name (or list of columns); you cannot GRAQNT the SELECT privelege to a user or role on a specific column(s); the SELECT privelege always applies to an entire table or view.

Of possible solutions, defining a view with only those column(s) to which you want to allow SELECT is easiest ....
