ACLItem Type

The aclitem data type is used to store object permission information. Its internal implementation is of the int type and supports the user1=privs/user2 format.

The aclitem[] data type is an array consisting of ACL items. The supported format is {user1 = privs1/user3, user2 = privs2/user3}.

In the preceding information, user1, user2, and user3 indicate the existing users or roles in the database, and privs indicates the permissions supported by the database. For details, see Table 2.

Example:

-- Create a user.
gaussdb=# CREATE USER user1 WITH PASSWORD 'Aa123456789';
gaussdb=# CREATE USER user2 WITH PASSWORD 'Aa123456789';
gaussdb=# CREATE USER omm WITH PASSWORD 'Aa123456789';

-- Create a data table table_acl that contains three columns of the int, aclitem, and aclitem[] types.
gaussdb=# CREATE TABLE table_acl (id int,priv aclitem,privs aclitem[]);
-- Insert a data record whose content is (1,'user1=arw/omm','{omm=d/user2,omm=w/omm}') into the table_acl table.
gaussdb=# INSERT INTO table_acl VALUES (1,'user1=arw/omm','{omm=d/user2,omm=w/omm}');
-- Insert a data record whose content is (2,'user1=aw/omm','{omm=d/user2}') into the table_acl table.
gaussdb=# INSERT INTO table_acl VALUES (2,'user1=aw/omm','{omm=d/user2}');
gaussdb=# SELECT * FROM  table_acl;
 id |     priv      |          privs
----+---------------+-------------------------
  1 | user1=arw/omm | {omm=d/user2,omm=w/omm}
  2 | user1=aw/omm  | {omm=d/user2}
(2 rows)

-- Drop the table and user.
gaussdb=# DROP USER user1;
gaussdb=# DROP USER user2;
gaussdb=# DROP USER omm;
gaussdb=# DROP TABLE table_acl;
