PBCatalogOwner
database parameter
Description
Specifies a nondefault owner for the extended attribute system
tables. These five tables contain default extended attribute information
for your database.
When you specify a PBCatalogOwner name that is different from the
default owner for your DBMS, PowerBuilder creates a new set of tables
with the owner name you specify.
When to specify PBCatalogOwner
You must specify the PBCatalogOwner parameter before connecting
to the database.

Usage
When to set
When you specify a nondefault owner for the extended attribute
system tables, you are in effect creating alternative tables. This is
useful if you want to test new validation rules or display formats
without overwriting the extended attributes currently in the default
tables.
Informix databases
For ANSI-compliant databases, the owner name that you specify must
be unique but the table name does not have to be unique. You can create
multiple sets of catalog tables prefaced with different user names.
However, if the database is not ANSI-compliant, the table name must be
unique, so that only one set of catalog tables can be created with an
assigned owner name.
JDBC databases
When you connect to a JDBC database and a value for PBCatalogOwner
is set in both the database profile and the registry, the setting in the
profile overrides the setting in the registry.
ODBC data sources
When you connect to an ODBC data source and a value for
PBCatalogOwner is set in both the database profile and the PBODB180
initialization file, the setting in the profile overrides the setting in
the PBODB180 initialization file.
DB2 databases
When you connect to a DB2 database, you can use the
DB2SYSPB.SQL script to create the extended attribute system tables. If
you use the DB2SYSPB.SQL script, keep the following in mind:
-
You can edit the script to change all instances of PBOwner to
another name, or leave the table owner as PBOwner in the script (the
default).Specifying SYSIBM is prohibited
DB2 prohibits you from specifying SYSIBM as the table
owner. -
You can set the PBCatalogOwner parameter to the owner you
specified in this script or to PBOwner if you did not edit the
script.This parameter cannot be set dynamically. The value set when
the connection is made remains in effect until it is
disconnected.
Examples
This example shows how to create a new set of extended attribute
system tables with the owner TEST. The names of the new tables have the
prefix TEST, such as TEST.pbcatcol, TEST.pbcatedt, and so on.
