Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

Both 4GL and SQL tables

When you create an OpenEdge database using the PROCOPY or PRODB commands, your login ID is used to automatically designate you as DBA, but only if there are no predefined_USER records or DBAs (other than “sysprogress”) in the source database.

Then, as creator of the new database, you can:

Use the Data Dictionary to designate a 4GL DBA user ID and use it to grant access privileges.
Log into the database and use the GRANT statement to designate additional SQL DBAs, and use the CREATE USER and DROP USER statements to add and delete user IDs.
