Revokes database privileges from users and roles.

Syntax

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] { privilege[,...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
   ON DATABASE db-spec
   FROM grantee[,...]
   [ CASCADE ]

Parameters

GRANT OPTION FOR

Revokes the grant option for the specified privileges. Current privileges for grantees remain unaffected. If you omit this clause, Vertica revokes both the grant option and current privileges.

privilege
The database privilege to revoke, one of the following:

  • CREATE: Create schemas.

  • TEMP: Create temporary tables.

ALL [PRIVILEGES]
Revokes all database privileges that also belong to the revoker. Users cannot revoke privileges that they themselves lack.

The optional keyword PRIVILEGES is supported to comply with the SQL standard.

ON DATABASE db-spec

Specifies the current database, set to the database name or DEFAULT.

grantee

Specifies whose privileges are revoked, one of the following:

CASCADE

If the target grantees have a grant option to extend the specified privileges to other users, CASCADE specifies to search for these users and revoke the privileges from them also.

Privileges

Non-superuser, one of the following:

Examples

Revoke user Fred's privilege to create schemas in the current database:

=> REVOKE CREATE ON DATABASE DEFAULT FROM Fred;

Revoke user Fred's privilege to create temporary tables in the current database:

=> REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE DEFAULT FROM Fred;
