    Attachment: Derby1330ViewPrivilegeCollectionV1diff.txt
                Derby1330ViewPrivilegeCollectionV1stat.txt

I have been working on storing privilege requirements for view (in Derby SQL 
Authorization mode only) during create view time in SYSDEPENDS table. This 
information in SYSDEPENDS will later be used at the revoke privilege time. That 
patch for this work is attached as Derby1330ViewPrivilegeCollectionV1diff.txt 
to this JIRA entry. All the views that depend on the privilege being revoked 
will be dropped. The revoke privilege work to drop affected views is not 
included in this patch.

The patch has 2 major components to it
1)If the query for create view is accessing view/s, then Derby engine flattens 
all those view/s. Once the view flattening is finished, Derby engine goes 
through all the columns for the flattened parent sql and it starts building the 
privilege requirement for those columns. But since views are always accessed 
with definer's privileges (which means that as long as a user has privilege to 
access a view, the user can select from the view. This works even if the user 
does not need direct privileges to the objects accessed by the view.), Derby 
engine should not collect privilege requirements for objects accessed by views. 
In order to implement this behavior, I have added a flag to QueryTreeNode which 
will be set to false if the object is going to be accessed with definer's 
privileges. During view flattening, the objects accessed by view will be marked 
with definer privileges. Later, when the Derby enging goes through all the 
columns, it will check if the column is marked with definer's privilege and if 
so, then do not look for privilege requirement for that column. 
2)Once the privileges have been collected for the create view in the bind 
phase, they need to be recorded in SYSDEPENDS table during the execution phase 
of the create view sql. SYSDEPENDS will add one row for every privilege 
requirement for the view. The DEPENDENTID will be view descriptor and 
PROVIDERID has to be a unique id to identify permission descriptor's uniquely. 
In order to do this, PermissionsDescriptor needs to implement interface 
Provider and it needs to have a UUID associated with it. This required addition 
of a UUID column in SYSTABLEPERMS, SYSCOLPERMS and SYSROUTINEPERMS. This UUID 
is required by the DependencyManager to uniquely identify a row for a given 
PROVIDERID.

> Additional work needs to be done for grant/revoke to make sure that only 
> users with required privileges can access various database objects. In order 
> to do that, first we need to collect the privilege requirements for various 
> database objects and store them in SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM. Once we have this 
> information then when a user tries to access an object, the required 
> SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM privileges for the object will be checked against the 
> user privileges in SYS.SYSTABLEPERMS, SYS.SYSCOLPERMS and 
> SYS.SYSROUTINEPERMS. The database object access will succeed only if the user 
> has the necessary privileges.
> SYS.SYSTABLEPERMS, SYS.SYSCOLPERMS and SYS.SYSROUTINEPERMS are already 
> populated by Satheesh's work on DERBY-464. But SYS.SYSREQUIREDPERM doesn't 
> have any information in it at this point and hence no runtime privilege 
> checking is getting done at this point.
