derby.database.sqlAuthorization

Function

One of the user authorization properties.

Enables the SQL standard authorization mode for the database or system on which this property is set. The possible values are:

TRUE
SQL authorization for the database or system is enabled, which allows the use of GRANT and REVOKE statements.
FALSE
SQL authorization for the database or system is disabled. After this property is set to TRUE, the property cannot be set back to FALSE.

The values are not case-sensitive.

Note: If you set this property as a system property before you create the databases, all new databases will automatically have SQL authorization enabled. If the databases already exist, you can set this property only as a database property.

Derby uses the type of user authentication that is specified with the derby.authentication.provider property.

If the derby.authentication.provider property specifies NATIVE authentication, Derby behaves as if derby.database.sqlAuthorization were set to TRUE, regardless of how derby.database.sqlAuthorization has been set by other means.

For more information about user authorization, see "User authorizations" in the Derby Developer's Guide.

Example

-- system-wide property
derby.database.sqlAuthorization=true

-- database-level property
CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY(
    'derby.database.sqlAuthorization', 'true');

Default

FALSE

Dynamic or static

This property is static; if you change it while Derby is running, the change does not take effect until you reboot.
