Server IP, user name and password of the database engine
Today, virtually all companies have at least one IT professional who is responsible for, among many other functions to manage the data and servers of the company. Among their functions include the administration of a database engine, which, for security reasons, has access by means of a user name and a password. If not, any person could enter the network, and provide high-databases, query, modify and even delete confidential information of the company.
For example:
DATABASE ENGINE |
ADMINISTRATOR USER BY DEFAULT |
PASSWORD
(Known only to the manager of IT) |
MySQL |
root |
****** |
Microsoft SQL-Server |
sa |
****** |
Oracle |
System |
****** |
MariaDB |
root |
****** |
Firebird |
SYSDBA |
****** |
When you create a database, or a new connection on the MP, the program prompts you for the server name or IP where you will create or is the database to which you want to connect to, as well as a user name and password.
The username and password that here we ask, are precisely those that allow access to the database engine permissions privileges to create the database.
Now, the administrator of the database can also create different user accounts to allow access to more people by giving them privileges and permissions custom.
With the aim of not to use the administrator user of IT and its respective password each time that the department of maintenance required to create a database or a connection to an existing database, it is recommended that the IT administrator create a user account specifically for the maintenance department.
A single user account to the database engine is sufficient for the creation and connection of multiple databases.
The username and password that here is requested, you do not have any relationship with the licenses of use are acquired or the amount of users that can access the database, so that a single user account can be enough, because in this case it refers specifically to the user and password of the database engine.
