Protecting Your Data : Maintaining Security : Establishing authentication for your OpenEdge database
Establishing authentication for your OpenEdge database
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing, modifying, or removing database files, you can establish appropriate database administration and user-access privileges. The process for establishing authentication depends on whether your database has tables used from the ABL (Advanced Business Language) only, tables used from SQL only, or tables used from both ABL and SQL.
Caution: If you plan to use OpenEdge SQL, as your first task be sure to create an SQL DBA account as the first user account. Grant the account DBA rights by executing the GRANT statement. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Identity Management.
