Specifies the position of the entry within the ACL to be modified or created. With the AFTER or POSITION argument, you can specify the position in the list after which SQL searches for an ACL entry with an identifier that matches the one specified in the TO clause of the GRANT statement. Following are specifics about the AFTER and POSITION arguments: o In the AFTER argument, the identifier specifies the entry in the ACL after which SQL begins its search for the entry to be modified or created. If none of the entries in the ACL has an identifier that matches the identifier specified in the AFTER argument, SQL generates an error and the statement fails. Starting after the entry specified by the identifier in the AFTER argument, SQL searches the entries in the ACL. If an entry has an identifier that matches the identifier specified by the TO clause of the GRANT statement, SQL creates a new entry that contains only those privileges specified in the GRANT statement. SQL retains only the entry appearing first in the ACL, and deletes any entries with duplicate identifiers. If none of the entries has an identifier that matches the identifier specified by the TO clause of the GRANT statement, SQL creates a new ACL entry immediately following the identifier specified in the AFTER argument. Specifying PUBLIC is equivalent to a wildcard specification of all user identifiers. o In the POSITION argument, the integer specifies the earliest relative position in the ACL of the entry to be modified or created. Starting with the position specified by the POSITION argument, SQL searches the entries in the ACL. If an entry has an identifier that matches the identifier specified by the TO clause of the GRANT statement, SQL creates a new entry that contains only those privileges specified in the GRANT statement. SQL retains only the entry appearing first in the ACL, and deletes any entries with duplicate identifiers. If none of the entries has an identifier that matches the identifier specified by the TO clause of the GRANT statement, SQL creates a new entry for that identifier at the relative position specified in the POSITION argument (even if an entry before the position at which SQL began its search had an identifier that matched). If you specify a position higher than the number of entries in the list, SQL places the entry last in the ACL. For example, if you specify position 12 and there are only 10 entries in the list, the new entry is placed in position 11 and given that position number. o If you omit the AFTER or POSITION argument, SQL searches the entire ACL for an identifier list that matches the one specified in the TO clause of the GRANT statement. If it finds a match, it modifies the ACL entry by adding those privileges specified in the privilege list that are not already present. If there is no match, SQL creates a new entry at the beginning of the ACL.
