CREATE WEAK PASSWORD DICTIONARY

Function

CREATE WEAK PASSWORD DICTIONARY inserts one or more weak passwords into the gs_global_config table.

Precautions

• Only the initial user, system administrator, and security administrator have the permission to execute this syntax.
• Passwords in the weak password dictionary are stored in the gs_global_config system catalog.
• The weak password dictionary is empty by default. You can use this syntax to add one or more weak passwords.
• When a user attempts to execute this syntax to insert a weak password that already exists in the gs_global_config table, only one weak password is retained in the table.
