A
user account called "sa" is created for the Sybase
system administrator when you install the Sybase software. A user
logged in as "sa" can use any database on Adaptive
Server, including master, with full privileges.
Immediately after a new installation, there is no password
on the "sa" account. The initial default value
for the password is NULL. In a production environment, the Sybase
system administrator should always use a non-default password.
The Sybase system administrator should log in to Adaptive Server as "sa" and set a password:
The Sybase system administrator should log in to Adaptive Server as "sa" and set a password: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin/isql -Usa -P -Sserver_name
1> sp_password null, new_password
2> go
where:
-
null – is
the default password.
-
new_password
– is
the password that you are assigning to the "sa" account.
For the greatest security, Sybase recommends that you create a
password of at least six characters, with a combination of letters
and numbers.
