Creating or Changing XUSER Entries in the Background 

You generate new XUSER entries or change existing XUSER entries by overwriting their data. To do this, you use the following command with the option –b, and use the file <file_name> to send the data of the new entries to the XUSER program.

xuser -b <file_name>

When you create the XUSER entry with the key name HOME, no SQL mode is specified.

HOME
meyer
"Secret_password"
myDB
server1
(empty line)
(empty line)
90
1
(empty line)

 

You are free to define your own file name. Each XUSER entry in the file must contain the following data in the specified order, and must have a length of exactly 10 lines. You must include an empty line for every option that you omit. (For a description of the options, see Creating or Changing XUSER Entries.)

<user_key>
<user_name>
<password>
<database_name>
<database_server>
<SQL_mode>
                                     (empty line)
<timeout>
<isolation_level>
                                     (empty line)

The empty lines in the file must be left empty, since they are meant to contain other XUSER data that is not relevant for the database version 7.5.
