DBRSTRCT Utility

Defines the access that all users, including you, have to your application database.

SYNTAX

dbrstrct database-name 

PARAMETERS AND QUALIFIERS

database-name

The name of the database for which you want to restrict access.

NOTES

EXAMPLES

Sample DBSTRCT Command:

dbrstrct mydb 

As you can see from the options listed, you can define access globally, for all files, or you can define access on a file-by-file basis. Any restrictions you define affect all users, including yourself.

If you choose option 1 and deny update access but permit query access, no users, including yourself, will have update access to files or fields in the database, unless that update is being done by a procedure that was precompiled against the database before the database was restricted. However, all users will be able to write procedures that query the database.
