Providing Data Source Security: DBA

Topics:

As Database Administrator, you can use DBA security features to provide security for any FOCUS data source. You can use these security features to limit the number of records or reads a user can request in a report.

You can also create user-written programs to perform program accounting on FOCUS data sources. You can use the Usage Accounting and Security Exit Routine (UACCT) to collect usage statistics and data on attempted access violations.

You can also use DBA security features to provide security for non-FOCUS data sources. However, the RESTRICT command is not available for those data sources. Note that DBA security cannot protect a data source from non-FOCUS access.

Note: All references to FOCUS data sources also apply to XFOCUS data sources.
