Syntax options: USING 'password' | DEFAULT Specifies the user's password for the user name specified in the USER clause. You can specify a character string literal for the PASSWORD 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 password to the program by using a command line qualifier when you compile an SQL module or precompiled program. You use the PASSWORD qualifier.
