As I understand the SQL spec, the first (table-level) GRANT you specified
would be equivalent to repeating an appropriate column-level GRANT for
every column of S. My thought was to check the column privs and apply
this logic:
if user matches an acl for the column .. and priv is granted, then permit .. else priv is not granted, rejectelse
fallthrough to table privileges

Can you give an examle for how this is any different for column-level
GRANTs?
