Account to be charged for the space used by this database. If not specified, the account defaults to the default account of the immediate owner of the database.

When specifying an account string for a database, consider that a user session may default to the account_string specified for the database that owns the user if no other user or profile based account applies.

Each account_string must follow the standard Teradata SQL naming rules. See SQL Fundamentals, B035-1141.
