> Proposal to enhance Derby's Built-In DDL User Management. (See proposal spec
> attached to the JIRA).
> Abstract:
> This feature aims at improving the way BUILT-IN users are managed in Derby by
> providing a more intuitive and familiar DDL interface. Currently (in
> 10.1.2.1), Built-In users can be defined at the system and/or database level.
> Users created at the system level can be defined via JVM or/and Derby system
> properties in the derby.properties file. Built-in users created at the
> database level are defined via a call to a Derby system procedure
> (SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY) which sets a database property.
> Defining a user at the system level is very convenient and practical during
> the development phase (EOD) of an application - However, the user's password
> is not encrypted and consequently appears in clear in the derby.properties
> file. Hence, for an application going into production, whether it is embedded
> or not, it is preferable to create users at the database level where the
> password is encrypted.
> There is no real ANSI SQL standard for managing users in SQL but by providing
> a more intuitive and known interface, it will ease Built-In User management
> at the database level as well as Derby's adoption.
