35.15. column_privileges

`column_privileges`

The view column_privileges identifies all privileges granted on columns to a currently enabled role or by a currently enabled role. There is one row for each combination of column, grantor, and grantee.

If a privilege has been granted on an entire table, it will show up in this view as a grant for each column, but only for the privilege types where column granularity is possible: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, REFERENCES.

Column Type Description
grantor `sql_identifier` Name of the role that granted the privilege
grantee `sql_identifier` Name of the role that the privilege was granted to
table_catalog `sql_identifier` Name of the database that contains the table that contains the column (always the current database)
table_schema `sql_identifier` Name of the schema that contains the table that contains the column
table_name `sql_identifier` Name of the table that contains the column
column_name `sql_identifier` Name of the column
privilege_type `character_data` Type of the privilege: `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `REFERENCES`
is_grantable `yes_or_no` `YES` if the privilege is grantable, `NO` if not
