password

The password of the user connecting to the database.

Use Password (-P) together with the User ID (-U) to specify the user password. Progress checks the _User table for the user ID supplied with the -U parameter. When it finds that user ID, it compares the password supplied with the -P parameter with the password in the _User table. If the two passwords match, Progress establishes the database connection.

With certain DataServers, the -P and -U parameters pass DataServer login information to the non-Progress database. For information, see your DataServer documentation.
