Sets a password.

You can specify the password using an argument of the DataSource.getConnection method, ConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection method, or XADataSource.getXAConnection method (which are referred to generically as the DB connection methods).

If this method is used to set a password, and if a DB connection method that has an authorization identifier and a password set as arguments is also called, the password setting specified by the DB connection method takes precedence.
