Oracle GRANT SELECT Usage Guide

In Oracle, the GRANT SELECT statement is used to give users or roles the SELECT privilege on tables, views, or other database objects. After using the GRANT SELECT statement, users or roles will be able to query and retrieve data from the specified objects, but will not be able to modify, insert, or delete data. The syntax of the GRANT SELECT statement is as follows:

Give permission to view object_name for user_or_role.

object_name refers to the name of the table, view, or other database object to be granted authorization, while user_or_role is the name of the user or role to be granted authorization.

Here are some examples:

1. Grant the user “test_user” SELECT permission on the table “employees”.

Allow test_user to view employees.

1. Grant the role “test_role” the SELECT permission on the view “customer_view”.

Give permission to the test_role to select data from the customer_view.

1. Grant the user “test_user” permission to SELECT from all tables.

Allow test_user to select data from any table.

Please note that only users with appropriate permissions can use the GRANT SELECT statement, and they can only grant SELECT permissions to objects they own.
