Information Access Server: Learning the Administrator Utility
B : Examining the Configuration
In this lesson, you will modify entries in the data dictionary by
changing and deleting user definitions.
Before you modify the configuration, it helps to examine it so you know
what's been defined.
If you are the primary DBA, you can list all the databases, tables,
access groups, and so on, by name. You can also show any one database,
table, access group, and so on, in detail.
If you are a secondary DBA, you can list by name only the databases,
tables, access groups, and so on, that you have configured. You can also
show in detail any one database, table, access group, and so on, that you
have configured.
