Syntax options: username | DEFAULT Specifies the operating system user name that the database system uses for privilege checking. You can specify a character string literal for the user name or you can specify the DEFAULT keyword. The DEFAULT keyword allows you to avoid placing the user name in a program's source code. If you specify the DEFAULT keyword, you pass the user name to the program by using a command line qualifier when you compile an SQL module or precompiled program. You use the USERNAME qualifier.
