ALL All privileges are revoked.
SELECT The ability to name any column in a SELECT statement. The privilege can be restricted to one or more columns by listing them.

Operating System file protection can be applied individually to the files for added security. The directory is a sub-directory of the Recital data directory. The environment variable / symbol DB_DATADIR points to the current Recital data directory and can be queried using the GETENV() function. Files from other directories can be added to the database using the ADD TABLE command or via the database catalog and SET AUTOCATALOG functionality. The '!' character must be included between the database name and the table name.
table The name of the table from which to revoke the privileges.
user The user access control string that will be revoked from the privilege. User access control strings are defined by the operating system.
group The group access control string that will be revoked the privilege. Group access control strings are defined by the operating system.
