Figure 2-21: Object privileges and corresponding database objects.

The way to interpret this table is, if you keep the above example
in your mind, you can grant ALTER, DELETE object privileges
on any table but you cannot grant READ on any table. This
implies to EXECUTE, one cannot grant EXECUTE privilege on
any table, view etc. its only meant for PL/SQL objects. On the
other hand, System privileges allow the ability to create, alter,
drop and manage database objects or features. There is a long list
of system privileges and for ease of study we have categorized
them in the following categories.

CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE ANY CLUSTER
ALTER ANY CLUSTER
DROP ANY CLUSTER

Cluster

ALTER DATABASE
ALTER SYSTEM
AUDIT SYSTEM
