SYSCOLPERM system view

The GRANT statement can give UPDATE, SELECT, or REFERENCES permission to individual columns in a table. Each column with UPDATE, SELECT, or REFERENCES permission is recorded in one row of the SYSCOLPERM system view. The underlying system table for this view is ISYSCOLPERM.

Column name	Data type	Description
table_id	UNSIGNED INT	The table number for the table containing the column.
grantee	UNSIGNED INT	The user number of the user ID that is given permission on the column. If the grantee is the user number for the special PUBLIC user ID, the permission is given to all user IDs.
grantor	UNSIGNED INT	The user number of the user ID that grants the permission.
column_id	UNSIGNED INT	This column number, together with the table_id, identifies the column for which permission has been granted.
privilege_type	SMALLINT	The number in this column indicates the kind of column permission (16=REFERENCES, 1=SELECT, or 8=UPDATE).
is_grantable	CHAR(1)	Indicates if the permission on the column was granted WITH GRANT OPTION.
