Jazarine Jamal commented on DERBY-3014:
---------------------------------------
A call to SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY('derby.user.<username>')
property returns NULL evenn if the <username> does not exist.
So, I was thinking if the system function returns a ****** instead of null.
> Make SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY('derby.user.<username>') return
> NULL instead of the hash value of the password
