Build Identifier:

If a user has a non-default current_role that is the schema authorization for the current_schema then this user will be unable to grant object privileges on tables in the current_schema.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Connect as user monetdb and run the following SQL statements:
    create role hr_role;
    create schema hr authorization hr_role;
    create user blake with password 'password' name 'Blake' schema "hr";
    create user clark with password 'password' name 'Clark' schema "hr";
    grant hr_role to blake;

  2. Connect as user blake and run the following SQL statements:
    set role hr_role;
    create table employees (id bigint,name varchar(20));
    grant select on employees to clark;
    grant select on employees to clark from current_role;

Actual Results:

operation successful
operation successful
CREATE TABLE: insufficient privileges for user 'blake' in schema 'hr'
CREATE TABLE: insufficient privileges for user 'blake' in schema 'hr'

Expected Results:

operation successful
operation successful
CREATE TABLE: insufficient privileges for user 'blake' in schema 'hr'
operation successful

A debugging session reveals that in sql_grant_table_privs, the grantor is set to sql->user_id whether or not "from current_role" is used in the grant command. This suggests an issue in sql_parser.y.


The GRANT syntax documentation has errors at http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/SQLreference/Permissions.

Instead of this:
grant:
GRANT privileges TO grantees [ WITH GRANT OPTION ] [ WITH ADMIN grantor ]
| GRANT authid_list TO grantees [ WITH ADMIN OPTION ] [ WITH ADMIN grantor ]

It should read this:
grant:
GRANT privileges TO grantees [ WITH GRANT OPTION ] [ FROM grantor ]
| GRANT authid_list TO grantees [ WITH ADMIN OPTION ] [ FROM grantor ]

Also, the following should be on a new line:
grantees: [ PUBLIC | authid ] ','...

Changeset description:

Bug fixes

Bug #3759 fixed types of returned bats (ie use timestamps instead of lng) in modules/mal/clients.c
Bug #3769 fixed crash (triggered assert) by properly looking for referenced groupby columns in push aggr down
optimizer in rel_optimizer.c
Bug #3760 fixed correlated subquery handling in rel_select.c, ie merge only distinct expressions.
Bug #3761 fixed by properly adding the zero_or_one aggregation only when needed (ie when the cardinality of
the outer query is a column/table, ie when we expect one value per row for the subquery).
Bug #3364 fixed in sql_privileges.c, ie allow set role when role_id == auth_id (ie default role).
Bug #3365 fixed in sql_privileges.c, the sql_grant_table_privs always added 'all' privileges in one go
	       in rel_schema.c properly pass the login_id or role_id based on the 'from current_{role/user}'
		part of the grant statement
Bug #3476 was already fixed by previous revoke / schema fixes.

in gdk/gdk_select.c fixed problem with anti select and nils (stop before first nil instead of last)
