Using External Security › External Database Security Considerations

External Database Security Considerations

Before you secure a database externally, weigh the following considerations:

• If you add an SRTT entry that secures the DB resource type externally, you automatically secure a group of database resource types externally.

  Note: For more information, see Securing Database Resources.

• If the SRTT contains one or more occurrence overrides that specify external security for resource type DB, you must also add an SRTT entry specifying external resource class and external resource name for each of the database resource types that are automatically secured externally.
• External security checks for database resources initiated by SQL bulk processing may have a discernible effect on processing time.

Note: For more information, see SQL Security Enforcement.
