Chapter 1 31
Introduction
Database Personnel
Database Personnel
The terms database administrator or database manager, database creator, and database
designer can refer to one or more persons involved in administering, creating, or designing
the database. The database administrator coordinates database use. This person knows
the passwords and can authorize others to use the database by making a password
available if it is needed for a particular application. The database administrator is also
responsible for system backup and recovery. The database creator is defined by the
MPE/iX user name, account, and group used when executing the Schema Processor to
create the root file and when executing the DBUTIL program to create the database files.
The database creator and administrator can be the same person. If not, the administrator
will probably have access to the user name and account in which the database resides or to
the maintenance word that is defined in chapter 8.
