One or more accounts to be assigned to the user. See "Creating User Accounts" in Teradata Vantage™ - Database Administration, B035-1093.
Account strings defined in the user profile supersede the accounts defined in the user definition.
If you do not specify an account string for the user or the user profile, the user inherits the first account string that is defined for the immediate owner of the user, that is, another user or a database.
Users with multiple accounts can use one of the following methods to access a non-default account:
- Logon string.
- SET SESSION ACCOUNT statement.
For a user to specify an account in the logon string or in a SET SESSION ACCOUNT statement, the account must be assigned in the user or profile definition for the user.
- account_string
- Each position in an account string has a specific meaning and format requirement. See "Creating Account Strings" in Teradata Vantage™ - Database Administration, B035-1093. Each account_string must follow the Vantage object naming rules. See Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Fundamentals, B035-1141. You must enclose each account string with APOSTROPHE characters. You must separate each entry in a list of account strings with a COMMA character and enclose the list with LEFT PARENTHESIS and RIGHT PARENTHESIS characters.
