Thread: GRANT EXECUTE

GRANT EXECUTE

Hi, All!

IMHO it will be useful to have EXECUTE privilege on procedures. It may be
realized through GRANT SELECT ON [procedure] since we cannot directly
execute procedure in SQL. But anyway ability to restrict access to
procedures seems good thing.

What do you think about it?

Hello all,

I fully correspond with the opinion of Dmitry. The ability to grant the
privilege to execute a function is very important for productive
systems. Especially in the comparison with existing commercial systems
like Oracle this missing feature is one of the main disadvantages.

Best regards, Jens Hartwig
