> The documentation on Derby's security mechanisms is scattered across several
> manuals. This makes it hard for developers to figure out which security
> mechanisms are relevant for a given application. Here are 3 places where
> security documentation appears:
> 1) In the Developer's Guide section titled "Derby and security"
> 2) In the Admin Guide section titled "Derby Network Server advanced topics"
> 3) In the Reference Manual section titled "Derby properties" as well as the
> syntax sections on GRANT, REVOKE, CREATE/DROP ROLE, and CREATE
> FUNCTION/PROCEDURE.
> It would be good to add a section which points the developer at all of this
> material. It might be sufficient to rewrite the top level "Derby and
> security" page of the Developer's Guide. The following white paper may help
> organize our thoughts about this:
