When Adaptive Server is installed, a single login called “sa” is configured with the System Administrator and System Security Officer roles. This means that the “sa” login has unlimited power.
Use the “sa” login only during initial setup. Instead of allowing several users to use the “sa” account, establish individual accountability by assigning specific roles to individual administrators.
WARNING! When logging in to Adaptive Server, do not use the -P option of isql to specify your password because another user may have an opportunity to see it.
