Have option to use X Views for Teradata in the schema browser and extraction


customer request
Priority Major
Complexity Unknown
Component App - Schema Browser
Version 15.0

Add option to Server Registration->Advanced->[Use X Views] similar to the Oracle [Use DBA_* Views].

 
Qs:

How do you prevent users from displaying objects for which a user has no rights?

A user has READ rights to some, but not all, of the Views in a database. In SQL Assistant, the user can see all of the Views and can expand each one to see the columns, even when they have no access rights to the View. They cannot execute a SHOW or otherwise access the Views to which they have no rights.


Probable Cause:

The default behavior for both ODBC and .Net is to allow users to see all objects in a database to which they have been given access rights.  The purpose of the X Views option is to restrict the view in SQL Assistant to only those objects for which the user has access rights.


Solution:
 

For a .Net connection, select the Advanced tab and check "Use X Views."

For an ODBC connection, edit the DSN in the ODBC Administrator. Under Options, select BOTH Use X Views and No HELP DATABASE. See knowledge article KAP19CA2A for additional information regarding the role of the No HELP DATABASE parameter in the behavior of the objects viewed in the SQL Explorer window of SQL Assistant.
