Specifying an Account String - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

Users can specify an account string in a logon string to help track system resource usage, and to set session priorities in a busy system. If the logon does not include an account string, the system assigns a default value.

You can assign accounts to users in a CREATE/MODIFY USER statement. Each username can have one or more associated account strings. The first account string you assign is the default.
