RE: Security for SQL functions

Dean,

A couple of ideas...

On the IBM i a function is an object. Objects can be secured. Secure your system so only selected individuals can CREATE and/or DROP objects. This may mean restricting who can use some of the CRTxxxxxxx (CRTBNDC, CRTBNDCPP, CRTBNDRPG, etc) commands.

For external products using ODBC/JDBC you can use an exit program to interrogate inbound SQL strings for the functions you want to restrict and reject the transaction if the user isn't authorized to the function(s).

HTH.

I am getting ready to put my first SQL user defined function into production. I just discovered that apparently anyone can create a function and also, anyone can drop a function. How do I secure my production functions so that only certain people can drop them?
