 SecuritySQL Statements for User Management 

POSIX Hosts

On POSIX systems, including macOS, the POSIX username will be used as the Firebird Embedded username if username is not explicitly specified.

The SYSDBA User on POSIX

On POSIX hosts, other than macOS, the SYSDBA user does not have a default password.If the full installation is done using the standard scripts, a one-off password will be created and stored in a text file in the same directory as {secdb}, commonly /opt/firebird/.The name of the password file is SYSDBA.password.

Note

In an installation performed by a distribution-specific installer, the location of the security database and the password file may be different from the standard one.
