Syntax conventions Description

UPPERCASE

Literal keyword.

Lowercase

Not literal.

< >

Variable value. Replace with a user-defined value.

[]

Optional. Square brackets ([]) surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.

( )

Group. Parentheses ( ( ) ) identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.

|

Or. A vertical bar (|) separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the vertical bar.

...

Repeatable. An ellipsis ( ... ) indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.

'<Literal string>'

Single quotation (') marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case.

{ <key> : <value> }

Map collection. Braces ({ }) enclose map collections or key value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value.

<datatype2

Set, list, map, or tuple. Angle brackets ( < > ) enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma.

<cql_statement>;

End CQL statement. A semicolon (;) terminates all CQL statements.

[--]

Separate the command line options from the command arguments with two hyphens ( -- ). This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

' <<schema\> ... </schema\>> '

Search CQL only: Single quotation marks (') surround an entire XML schema declaration.

@<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'

Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrConfig files.

permission

A comma separated list of permissions that the role is prevented from using on the resources even if the permissions is granted. Where the permission types are: ALL PERMISSIONS or ALTER, AUTHORIZE [FOR permission_list], CREATE, DESCRIBE, DROP, MODIFY (deprecated), SELECT, TRUNCATE, or UPDATE (allows INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE).

resource

Database object to which the permission is denied. Restriction is applied using modeled hierarchy as follows:

  • ALL KEYSPACES - restricts access to every keyspace and table.

  • KEYSPACE <keyspace_name> - restricts access on the keyspace and any table it contains

  • TABLE <table_name> - restricts access on the table and all the data it contains

Examples

Remove the select restriction from the database admin on the cycling keyspace:

UNRESTRICT SELECT ON KEYSPACE cycling FROM role_admin;
