Changing database options

Database options allow you to customize the behavior of user databases (you cannot change the option settings on the master database).

Privileges

A database owner can change option settings.

A new user database takes its default option settings from the model database. To control the default settings of all new user databases, update the database option settings for the model database. Only the system administrator can change the model database.

This topic describes how to change database options and gives a brief description of each option. For more detailed option information, see the System Administration Guide.

StepsChanging database option settings for a database

  1. Select the database icon, then select File | Properties.

  2. Select the Options tab.

  3. Select or clear each option you want to change by clicking its check box. (Selecting an option sets its status to “ON” in Adaptive Server; clearing it sets the status to “OFF.”)

  4. Click OK. Adaptive Server resets the options for the database.
