RE: dbuser acess privileges - Mailing list pgsql-general

Here is the extract of documentation relative to GRANT UPDATE

UPDATE

Allows UPDATE of any column, or the specific columns listed, of the specified table. (In practice, any nontrivial UPDATE command will require SELECT privilege as well, since it must reference table columns to determine which rows to update, and/or to compute new values for columns.) SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and SELECT ... FOR SHARE also require this privilege on at least one column, in addition to the SELECT privilege. For sequences, this privilege allows the use of the nextval and setval functions. For large objects, this privilege allows writing or truncating the object.

Regards,

You'd think the implicit SELECT perm of that table for the explicit use of UPDATE would be covered by GRANT UPDATE.

Hi,

 

If I’m not wrong, UPDATE requires SELECT permission as the UPDATE statement needs to read the data to be updated.

So, you should probably add GRANT SELECT and you get it work.
