Database Security

-

 

Db2 provides two distinct types of privileges to perform certain actions on specific database objects, and these are:

 Database Privileges: These privileges apply to a database as a whole and are classified into eight different database privileges:

CONNECT: Allows a user to connect to the database

QUIESCE_CONNECT: Allows a user to connect to the database while it is in QUIESCE (access restricted state)

IMPLICIT_SCHEMA: Allows a user to create a new schema in the database implicitly by creating a fully qualified object

CREATETAB: Allows a user to create new tables in the database

BINDADD: Allows a user to create packages in the database

CREATE_EXTERNAL_ROUTINE: Allows a user to create user-defined functions and procedures

CREATE_NOT_FENCED_ROUTINE: Allows a user to create unfenced user-defined functions and procedures

LOAD: Allows a user to bulk-load data into one or more existing tables in the database

Database recovery methods

 Backup and recovery Following, there are four utilities supported within Db2 to facilitate backing up and restoring a database: The backup utility The restore utility The roll-forward utility The recover utility   The backup utility: The backup utility is used to create images outside the database that can be used to recover the entire database or a portion of it. If the database is an archive logging enabled database, the backup utility can be executed online with multiple concurrent applications connected to the database. The backup utility uses the utility heap to copy the data from the table spaces to the backup image. The utility heap can be controlled via the database configuration parameter UTIL_HEAP_SZ. The backup utility can write the backup image to storage devices on the database server, to a tape device, or can copy the data directly to the TSM storage devices or another vendor-supplied routine. Execute the BACKUP command to start the backup process. The basic syn...
