databases and HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases. All access to these databases
is subject to the normal security provisions of the respective databases.
To be able to use a database in an application, you must:
* Define the database.
- For HP ALLBASE/SQL databases, you must define the
external name of the database on the application definition
screen.
- For HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases, you must define the
external name of the database and the name of the database
as it will be known within HP ALLBASE/4GL on the database
definition screen.
* Define database access restrictions.
-For HP ALLBASE/SQL databases, this consists of an SQL
owner group, which is specified on the application
definition screen.
-For HP TurboIMAGE/iX databases, this consists of a user
class password, which is specified on the parameters for
database access screen.
