3.2.2 Options

[Figure]-u authorization-identifier[Figure] <identifier> ((1-8 characters))
Specifies an authorization identifier to which DBA privileges are to be granted and that is to be registered in HiRDB.
  • When this option is omitted
    When this option is omitted, the system assumes that the user name associated with the OS account of the user who is executing the pdinit command is specified in this option. If that OS account has the root privileges, the system then assumes that root is specified in this option.
  • Rules for option specification
    If the authorization identifier contains lowercase letters, enclose the entire identifier in double quotation marks ("); otherwise, the system treats the specification as being in all uppercase letters. If you use the Bourne shell (sh), C shell (csh), or Korn shell (ksh), you must enclose the entire specification in single quotation marks (').
  • Remarks
    This option can also be specified when HiRDB is installed as an extension of open middleware that uses HiRDB.
[Figure]-p password[Figure] <identifier> ((1-30 characters))
Specifies the password for the authorization identifier specified in the -u option.
If the password contains lowercase letters, enclose the entire identifier in double quotation marks ("); otherwise, the system treats the specification as being in all uppercase letters. If you use the Bourne shell (sh), C shell (csh), or Korn shell (ksh), you must enclose the entire specification in single quotation marks (').
When this option is omitted, the system registers the authorization identifier character string specified in the -u option as the password.
The following shows the relationship between the -u and -p option values and the authorization identifier and password that are registered in HiRDB:
