Hi Derby Contributors,
My name is Robin, I am a newbie for derby. I'd like to join the project
and make contribution to this project. I have been using Derby for a
while and find out that permission granting in Derby is trivial. For
example, it can only grant permission on tables. It is nice that if it
can grant permission based on schema. One additional thing is that when
drop and recreate a table with the same name under same schema, the
permission has to be grant again.
Is there anyone who can give me some guide on this project? Right now, I
am reading user documents and architecture design document of Derby.
Hi Robin,
Welcome to the Derby community. The Grant/Revoke implementation is
based on the SQL Standard, so that might be a good reference resource
for you to look at. It's been a long time for me, but I used to get it
from my work but not sure if it is publicly available for download.
I see these notes on the Wiki.
https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/GrantRevokeImplementation
If you search Jira you might find some interesting documentation
attached to Grant/Revoke related issues, for example
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1928
It might be interesting to look at the diffs on those issues too, to
help understand what code areas are related.
I haven't been active technically on the Derby project for many years
but would love to see the community grow, so would be happy to help in
anyway I can.
Best
Kathey
