My thought exactly. I also wonder, if the general rule is to have
"...item valuetoset..." as opposed to "...item = valuetoset...", why
would you suddenly switch to "=" for user attributes? I actually think
the original syntax seems more consistent.
But all in all I do find it a bit foreign that undefined items
(attributes) could be set "ad hoc" without defining them or containing
them inside some construct that is intended for that purpose. In other
words, a syntax like this would seem a bit more robust:
create user x password 'y' attributes (a = 'a', b = 'b');
alter user x set password 'yy' attributes (a = 'aa', b = 'bb');
I assume attribute identifiers can be quoted as usual?
creat user x password 'y' attributes ("Weird Named Attribute &%!" = 'The
Value');

Kjell
