CONTROL

This box displays a setting that indicates whether the group has the CONTROL privilege on tables selected in the Table column. To change the setting, click on the down arrow and select the setting that you want. You can select:

Yes

Grants the CONTROL privilege.

No

Revokes the CONTROL privilege.

With the CONTROL privilege on a table, a user:

• Acquires all other privileges on the table as well -- SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, INDEX, and REFERENCES

• Can grant these other privileges to other groups and users of the table

• Can drop the table

• Can execute the RUNSTATS utility against the table and its indexes

If, at one time, you select tables for which you specified different settings (for example, Yes for one table andNo for the others), the CONTROL box is blank. But the settings that you specified remain in effect.
