Hi othellomy,

The REVOKE keyword is to revoke a permission that was earlier GRANTed
explicitly.

To explicitly deny access to an object that would by default allow
access, you use DENY:

DENY DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE ON v_t1 TO ALL

However, this will not affect any user in the db_owner database role or
any user in the sysadmin server role, since security checks are bypassed
for these users.
