The master password holder (usually, the DBA) can change any database password
at any time. If a password that is stored in a view descriptor is changed,
the DBA can either change the view descriptor or override the stored password
each time the view descriptor is used. The software does not require that
you use the same password. The engine only requires that you use a password
that has enough authority to service the view descriptor.
Because SYSTEM 2000 passwords are not stored in access
descriptors, there are no effects if a SYSTEM 2000 password is changed. Passwords
can be stored in view descriptors, but changing a password does not affect
the view descriptor. It still has all the items, but you might not be able
to use the view. Nothing is automatically changed in the descriptors when
you change a password or its authorities.
