Lesson 18. Managing Database Users

In this lesson you will learn about:

  • Types of users
  • User management
  • The user's place in the database
  • The user versus the schema
  • User sessions
  • Altering a user's attributes
  • User profiles
  • Dropping users from the database
  • Tools utilized by users

Note

The SQL standard refers to a database user identification as an Authorization Identifier (authID). In most major implementations, authIDs are referred to simply as users. This book refers to Authorization Identifiers as users, database users, usernames, or database user accounts. The SQL standard states that the Authorization Identifier is a name by which the system knows the database user.
