Hi all,
Is this normal? - I have discovered the hard way that permissions
GRANTed to a user on one table influence that user's ability to
update another table in a foreign key relationship with it. To be
specific, here are the relevant bits of the two tables:
create table usertypes (
typecode varchar(16) primary key,
description varchar(64),
);
grant select on usertypes to webanon;
create table users (
uid varchar(16) primary key,
pwd varchar(16),
typecode varchar(16) references usertypes
on update cascade
);
grant select,insert,update,delete on users to webanon;
Now, when user webanon tries to update a field in table "users", the
update doesn't happen.....however, it DOES happen if I grant update
permissions to webanon on table "usertypes".
Any comments welcome! - Many thanks.
--Ray.
