Hi Karen, That is the expected behavior. When you RENAME OWNER it changes the current USER to the new password. So, when you reconnect, it doesn't prompt you because you already have the right value for USER.
Try this: R> RENAME OWNER x TO y R> SHOW USER R> SET USER Karen (assuming "y" above wasn't "Karen") R> DISCONNECT Now, CONNECT again and see what happens.

Apparently I have to exit RBase and come back in. It never asked for the password until I exited RBase.

I have an existing database that I want to put one on, but searching the help file I cannot find how I do this for an existing database, only if you're creating a new one. Thanks! Karen
