Specifying an SQL user's authorization identifier

SQL users identify themselves to SESAM/SQL by means of the authorization identifier. Users can specify the authorization identifier in the SOURCE-PROPERTIES option of the ESQL precompiler under AUTHORIZATION (see the “ ESQL-COBOL for SESAM/SQL-Server” manual). An authorization identifier can be specified within an ESQL program with the SQL statement SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION. This authorization identifier will only become the current authorization identifier if no authorization identifier is specified in the SOURCE-PROPERTIES option. The configuration file must contain the authorization identifier if the utility monitor is to be used.
