DCL commands in MySQL

DCL (Data Control Language) commands in MySQL are used to control access to data within the database. They primarily deal with the permissions and security of the database objects. The two main DCL commands in MySQL are:

  1. GRANT: This command is used to give privileges to users.
  2. REVOKE: This command is used to remove privileges from users.

GRANT

The GRANT command is used to assign privileges to users. Privileges can be on various levels: global, database, table, column, or stored procedure

GRANT privilege_type [(column_list)]
    ON [object_type] privilege_level
    TO user_or_role [auth_option]
    [WITH GRANT OPTION];


Examples:

Grant all privileges on a database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'host';

Grant specific privileges on a table:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON database_name.table_name TO 'username'@'host';

Grant privileges with the option to grant the same privileges to others:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'host' WITH GRANT OPTION;

REVOKE

The REVOKE command is used to remove previously granted privileges from users.
REVOKE privilege_type [(column_list)]
    ON [object_type] privilege_level
    FROM user_or_role;


Examples:

Revoke all privileges on a database:
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* FROM 'username'@'host';

Revoke specific privileges on a table:
REVOKE SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON database_name.table_name FROM 'username'@'host';

Notes:
  • privilege_type: The type of privilege to grant or revoke (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALL PRIVILEGES).
  • object_type: The type of object the privilege applies to (e.g., DATABASE, TABLE, COLUMN).
  • privilege_level: The level at which the privilege is granted (e.g., *.* for global, database_name.* for database level, database_name.table_name for table level).
  • user_or_role: The user or role to which the privileges are granted or from which they are revoked.
  • WITH GRANT OPTION: Allows the user to grant the same privileges to others.

DCL commands are crucial for maintaining the security and proper access control of a MySQL database.

Creating a Database and Table ,executing queries - MySQL Lab Exercise

Create a database school and use it CREATE DATABASE school; USE school; Let's create a simple table schema for a students table in MySQL, followed by a set of queries to interact with the data. id : An integer that uniquely identifies each student (primary key). first_name : The student's first name. last_name : The student's last name. birthdate : The student's birth date. email : The student's email address. gender : The student's gender. enrollment_date : The date when the student was enrolled. CREATE TABLE students (     id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,     first_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,     last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,     birthdate DATE NOT NULL,     email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,     gender ENUM('Male', 'Female', 'Other') NOT NULL,     enrollment_date DATE NOT NULL ); check the schema desc students; Inserting Sample Data INSERT INTO students (first_name, last_name, birthdate, email, gender, enrollment_date) VALUES ('John&
