DESCRIPTION¶
db.login sets the user name and optionally also a password for the
connection to the selected
database through the DB
driver.
NOTE¶
This is only related to SQL database backends like MySQL or ODBC. The passwords
are stored in a hidden unencrypted file in the user account ('home' directory)
called
.grasslogin64. Only the file owner can access this file.
EXAMPLES¶
Only username specified (password will be interactively queried to remain
invisible):
db.login user=bacava
Username and password specified (note that the command lines history will store
the password in this way):
db.login user=bacava password=secret
Username and empty password specified (note that the command lines history will
store the password in this way):
db.login user=bacava password=""
