Suppose that the fragment of the Student Registration System has two user accounts: Student and Administrator. Specify the permissions appropriate for these user categories using the SQL GRANT statement.

What will be an ideal response?


An administrator should be able to read and modify all information in Student, Professor, Course, Transcript,andTeaching — if your university is like ours, only administrators can change information. Here is an example:

```
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE ON Transcript
TO Administrator WITH GRANT OPTION
```

Assuming that Ids and addresses are considered private, a student should be able to see names and student status in the Student relation, professors and departments in the Professor relation, everything in the Course relation, nothing in Transcript, and, perhaps, CrsCode and Semester in Teaching. Here is an example:

```
GRANT SELECT (CrsCode, Semester) ON Teaching
TO Student
```
