Stored procedures
<Source>.ChangePassword (Function)
In french: <Source>.ChangeMotDePasse
HFSQLHFSQL Client/ServerAvailable only with these kinds of connection
Changes the password of an HFSQL Classic or HFSQL Client/Server data file. The applications that use the former password will no longer be able to access this data file: a password error will be displayed.
Caution: This function is an advanced function. It must be used with great care because it can trigger errors in the client applications.
Example
// Former password
HPass("*", "Password")
// Modify the password
Customer.ChangePassword("NewPassword")
// Create a data file with password
FileA.Password("TEST")
FileA.Creation()
 
// Add data
FileA.ItemA = "Test 1"
FileA.Add()
 
// Read data
FileA.ReadFirst()
Info(FileA.ItemA)
 
// Change the password
Info("Changing the password...")
FileA.ChangePassword("NW_Test")
Info("Password changed, the first record is read again")
 
// Read data again
FileA.ReadFirst()
Info(FileA.ItemA)
 
// Manage the errors
CASE ERROR:
Error(HErrorInfo())
RETURN
Syntax
<Result> = <Source>.ChangePassword(<New password>)
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the password was modified,
  • False otherwise. HError is used to identify the error.
<Source>: Type corresponding to the specified source
Name of HFSQL data file (defined in the analysis) to use.
<New password>: Character string
New password that will be used for the data file.
Remarks
  • If the data file is already password protected, this password must be specified with <Source>.Password before using <Source>.ChangePassword.
  • To modify the password of a data file, you must have the rights to perform an automatic modification (hRightsAutoModif constant). These rights can be defined by <Connection variable>.ModifyFileRights.
  • This function starts an automatic modification of the data file. If the data file was encrypted with a different password, it will be entirely re-encrypted with the new password. This operation can take quite a long time.
