2005: forbidding INSERTs and DELETEs

[R.A.M.]

Please help.
I have a table with single row. I need to allow only UPDATEs of the
table, forbid INSERTs and DELETEs. How to achieve it?
Thank you for information

No permissions exist when a new object is created. Only privileged users
such as the object owner, sysadmin role members, the database owner and
db_owner role members have access until permissions are granted. To grant
only UPDATE permissions:

GRANT UPDATE ON dbo.MyTable TO SomeRole

Hope this helps.

CREATE TRIGGER update_only FOR INSERT, DELETE AS
RAISERROR('INSERT and DELETE not permitted on this table!', 16, -1)
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

Hi RAM,

Dan already replied how to do this with GRANT and DENY. If you also must
keep the database owner and administrators from accidentally inserting
or deleting a row, add the following trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER NoInsertOrDelete
ON SingleRowTable
AFTER INSERT, DELETE
AS
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 RETURN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RAISERROR ('Don''t add rows to or remove rows from this table!', 16, 1)
GO
