Creating user IDs in the OpenEdge RDBMS _User table

You can create user IDs in the OpenEdge RDBMS _User table for authentication in both ABL and OpenEdge SQL. You can use one of the following mechanisms to create user IDs in the OpenEdge RDBMS:

OpenEdge Database Administration. For more information on creating user IDs with the Database Administration tool, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration.

Direct ABL access to system tables that store user information. For more information on accessing OpenEdge database tables from ABL, see OpenEdge Development: Programming Interfaces.

The OpenEdge SQL CREATE and ALTER USER statements. For more information on creating user IDs in SQL, see OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Development.
