Name of the default database established each time a user with this profile logs onto the Teradata Database.
database_name should be an existing database. The system returns an error when a user with this profile tries to create or reference an object within a nonexistent database.
If the default database is NULL or is not defined in the profile assigned to a user, Teradata Database uses the setting defined for the individual user. If a default database is not specified for the profile or user, the system uses the username as the default database.
A user can also use SET SESSION DATABASE to specify an alternate default database.
Example: Creating a Profile that Defines the Default Database
The following request creates a profile called human_resources that defines the default database to be personnel.
CREATE PROFILE human_resources AS DEFAULT DATABASE = personnel;
The following request assigns the human_resources profile to a new user.
CREATE USER marks AS PROFILE = human_resources;
