* Note: I'm resending this posting as after almost 3 hours my first attempt still hasn't appeared back in my inbox. -------------------------------------- Our UniVerse files on our production unix box all have permissions set so owner and group both have read & write access. Our users are all locked into menus and can only access the files via the application programs.
I would like to make one of these files accessible (SELECT only) to the outside world via SQL. If I use CONVERT.SQL to convert the file into a table and then use GRANT to set connect & select access to a specific user, that user can then connect & perform SQL selects on the file. BUT - the rest of our users can no longer access the file via regular UniVerse commands (LIST statements, BASIC reads and writes, etc). It looks like I would have to GRANT connect, select, update, delete & insert on the table to EVERY regular UniVerse user just so they can continue to access this file normally. Is there a better (ie. easier) way to achieve this? Am I doing something wrong? I suppose I could make a copy of the file in question which would only be used via SQL, but that would present further complications. AdrianW Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.
