Progress Database Administration

[ArmstrongG1]

All,

Hallo, my name is Armstrong. I am fairly new Progress developer developing a Configuration Management software support tool as my final year project for my BSc(Hons) degree in Computer Science.

My problem is fairly simple, I have activated the option "dissallow blank passwords" for my database, how do I deactivate this option so as to allow users to connect using blank passwords?

And also how can I get hold of Progress programming resources i.e. database and programming tutorials, because the problem is that here in Zimbabwe there are only a handful of Progress developers that are known to myself, and hence acquiring the necessary resources is a bit difficult. So here also, I need your help.

Thanx in advance, and I am finding this site very useful.

Armstrong.

Hi,

You can allow blank users to access your tables editing their access rights. Go to Data Dictionary -> Admin-> Security -> Edit Data Security... ->
here you can select your table and remove '!' from
Can-read,Can-write,Can-Create,Can-delete fields.

Other option can be dump and load your database.
