The User Mapping Dialog
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
Use the *User Mapping* dialog to define a new mapping of a user to a foreign server.
|
|
|
|
The *User Mapping* dialog organizes the development of a user mapping through the following dialog tabs: *General* and *Options*. The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

|
|
|
|
Use the drop-down listbox in the *User* field in the *General* tab to identify the connecting role:
|
|
|
|
* Select *CURRENT_USER* to use the name of the current role.
|
|
* Select *PUBLIC* if no other user-specific mapping is applicable.
|
|
* Select a pre-defined role name to specify the name of an existing user.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Options* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *Options* tab to specify connection options; the accepted option names and values are specific to the foreign data wrapper associated with the server specified in the user mapping. Click the *Add* button to add an option/value pair.
|
|
|
|
* Specify the option name in the *Option* field.
|
|
* Provide a corresponding value in the *Value* field.
|
|
|
|
Click *Add* to specify each additional option/value pair; to discard an option, click the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm deletion in the *Delete Row* popup.
|
|
|
|
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|
Your entries in the *User Mapping* dialog generate a SQL command (see an example below). Use the *SQL* tab for review; revisit or switch tabs to make any changes to the SQL command.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of the sql command generated by user selections in the *User Mapping* dialog:
