Patent ID: 8886564

Claim:
A method for resource security in a database management system having a plurality of resources, comprising steps of: for each resource in the database management system, defining a security for the resource by creating a macro and a corresponding data section definition; converting the macros into a collection of hexadecimal strings; assembling all of the data section definitions and the converted macros into a load module; processing the load module to obtain the macros, the processing comprising steps of: reading, from the load module, a first data section definition; retrieving, from the first data section definition, a total number of resources; and for each resource of the total number of resources: reading a next data section definition; finding the defined security in the next data section definition; and generating the macro associated with the defined security; and after processing the load module, modifying the macros obtained through the generating the macro operations by performing at least one of: changing the macro of one resource to modify the defined security of the one resource, or adding a new macro defining security for an additional resource; and assembling the modified macros to obtain a new load module that includes security information for the resources in the database management system.
