Knut Anders Hatlen reopened DERBY-4328:
---------------------------------------
Sorry for the late response.
I'm reopening the issue because the code used to demonstrate that the
developer's guide is wrong, does not do what the developer's guide says.
The developer's guide says that SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY should be called
with two arguments. First argument should be 'bootPassword" and second argument
should be on the form 'oldbpw , newbpw'. The code in the bug description calls
SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY with three arguments, and it's therefore expected
to fail.
I haven't tested if the documented syntax works, but it looks like there is
code to handle it. See the code path
SystemProcedures.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY ->
PropertyInfo.setDatabaseProperty -> RAMTransaction.setProperty ->
PropertyConglomerate.setProperty -> PropertyConglomerate.bootPasswordChange.
> The Developer's Guide falsely claims that you can use
> SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY to change the boot password on an
> encrypted database.

> This claim is made in the section titled 'Changing the boot password'. If you
> try to run the example, you get this error:
> CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY( 'bootPassword', 'Thursday' ,
> 'Saturday');
> ERROR 42Y03: 'SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY' is not recognized as a
> function or procedure.
> The correct way to change the boot password is documented earlier on in the
> section titled 'Encrypting databases with a new boot password'. We should
> remove the section titled 'Changing the boot password'.
