-    In this case we must have <literal>db_table:select</> in addition to

-    For columns, <literal>db_column:select</> is checked on

-    In this case, it checks <literal>db_column:update</> on the column
-    <literal>t1.x</> being updated, <literal>db_column:{select update}</>
-    on the column <literal>t1.y</> being updated and referenced, and
-    <literal>db_column:select</> on the column <literal>t1.z</>, since that is
