Distributed Tuning Interface

---

The changes to Distributed Tuning Interface (DTI) for this release are:

New Flags for Security

allow you to specify a security model when creating or modifying a database, and to allow you to query the security model of an existing database. The changes take the form of new database flags and affect the following functions:

• PvCreateDatabase()
• PvModifyDatabase()
• PvGetDbFlags

The new database flags for these functions are:

Flag	Hex	Meaning
P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHENTICATION	0x00000008	Database Security Authentication
P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHORIZATION	0x00000010	Database Security Authorization

The following table indicates how to specify a security model in a new database, or to interpret the security model of an existing database.

This Flag Combination	Represents this Security Model
No flags	Classic
P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHENTICATION	Mixed
P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHENTICATION + P_DBFLAG_DBSEC_AUTHORIZATION	Database

Catalog Functionality

If you use the PvCreateDictionary() or PvOpenDictionary() functions, you should note that the functionality to open a dictionary based on a path will be deprecated in the future. Currently, you can use these functions as they were originally designed, including the use of enforced SQL security by rights defined in USER.DDF and RIGHTS.DDF.
