Re: Informix vs SQL Server questions

In article <4nb4u7$2vk@cssun.mathcs.emory.edu>, billy.wheeler@pixie.co.za says... >>6) From what I can tell from what I've read, Informix can assign >>access rights for a user at the table level (and select rights at a >>column level). I didn't see anything mentioned about groups. In SQL >>Server we have assigned table access rights to particular *groups*. >>Then we assign users to that group to gain access to the tables which >>that group has rights to. Does Informix support this scenario? > >Informix supports ROLEs.Same sort of thing. I've seen some mention of ROLEs here and there - where are they documented? I'm looking at Informix 7.x documentation that makes no mention whatsoever of roles. Is it an Informix 7.x feature? How does it fit in with "standard" SQL? -- William Harris william@carsinfo.com CARS Information Systems 4000 Executive Park Drive Cincinnati, OH (USA) 45241
