# derby.database.sqlAuthorization

#### Function

One of the user authorization properties.

Enables the SQL standard authorization mode for the database or system on which this property is set. The possible values are:

- TRUE

  SQL authorization for the database or system is enabled, which allows the use of GRANT and REVOKE statements.

- FALSE

  SQL authorization for the database or system is disabled. After this property is set to TRUE, the property cannot be set back to FALSE.

The values are not case-sensitive.

Note: If you set this property as a system property before you create the databases, all new databases will automatically have SQL authorization enabled. If the databases already exists, you can set this property only as a database property.

Derby uses the type of user authentication that is specified with the `derby.authentication.provider` property.

For more information about user authorization, see "User authorizations" in the Java DB Developer's Guide.

#### Example

    -- system-wide property
    derby.database.sqlAuthorization=true

    -- database-level property
    CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY(
        'derby.database.sqlAuthorization', 'true');

#### Default

FALSE

#### Dynamic or static

This property is static; if you change it while Derby is running, the change does not take effect until you reboot.
