![]() SQL database system |
IDENTITYIDENTITY is a shsql SQL command extension that allows a user identity to be supplied. Since shsql doesn't use logins or passwords, this command provides a way of associating a process with a unique user or session. Only one IDENTITY should be supplied for any given process. Typically IDENTITY is set by the middleware.Identity can be represented by any character string. A login name, REMOTE_HOST, or other unique session identifier work well. IDENTITY must be used if a process will access a table that uses record locking. Otherwise it is not required. IDENTITY is also useful, but not required, for showing user identity in the database transaction logs and error logs. If it is used, the IDENTITY command should be issued before any SQL commands that update the database. Identity is in effect during the current process only. Usage: IDENTITY tag
Example: identity "steve"
