Revoke Method (Table, View) (SQL-DMO)

The Revoke method undoes a grant or deny of a table permission or a list of permissions for one or more Microsoft® SQL Server™ users or roles.

Applies To
Table Object View Object

Syntax

object.Revoke( Privilege , GranteeNames , [ ColumnNames ] ,
[ GrantGrant ] , [ RevokeGrantOption ] , [ AsRole ] )

Part Description
object Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Privilege Long integer specifying one or more table privileges as described in Settings.
GranteeNames SQL-DMO multistring listing users or roles.
ColumnNames SQL-DMO multistring listing columns within the base or view table referenced. When specified, the privileges specified are revoked for only the columns named.
GrantGrant When True, the grantee(s) specified are granted the ability to execute the REVOKE statement referencing the base or view table. When False (default), the ability to limit permission is not granted.
RevokeGrantOption When True, the ability to extend permission is revoked. When False (default), no change is made to the ability to extend permission.
AsRole String identifying a role to which the connected user belongs as described in Remarks.

Settings

Set the Privilege argument by using these values. To specify more than a single permission, combine values by using an Or.

Constant Value Description
SQLDMOPriv_AllObjectPrivs 63 Revoke all granted or denied table privileges
SQLDMOPriv_Delete 8 Revoke granted or denied permission to execute the DELETE statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_Insert 2 Revoke granted or denied permission to execute the INSERT statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_References 32 Revoke granted or denied permission to reference the table in statements implementing declarative referential integrity
SQLDMOPriv_Select 1 Revoke granted or denied permission to execute the SELECT statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_Update 4 Revoke granted or denied permission to execute the UPDATE statement referencing the table

Remarks

When a user is a member of more than a single role, the user can have permission to grant access to a table or view under one role and not under another. In this case, SQL Server security mechanisms prevent execution of the Revoke method on the Table or View object referencing the database object. Use the AsRole argument to specify the role under which permission to execute the grant exists.

Undoing a grant or deny of a permission to database users and roles by using the Revoke method of the Table or View object requires appropriate privilege. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be granted the ability to execute GRANT referencing the database object, the owner of the database object, or a member of a role with greater privilege.
