Maintaining Database Security 

HP ALLBASE/4GL applications can access and maintain data in HP
ALLBASE/SQL 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.

The following sections describe the database definition and security
aspects of each database type in more detail.
