*************************
|
|
|
|
Use the Directory dialog to create an alias for a file system directory path.
|
|
To create directories, you must have the CREATE ANY DIRECTORY system privilege.
|
|
When you create a directory, you are automatically granted READ and WRITE privileges
|
|
on the directory, and you can grant READ and WRITE privileges to other users and roles.
|
|
The superuser can also grant these privileges to other users and roles.
|
|
|
|
Please note that directories are supported when connected to EDB Postgres Advanced Server.
|
|
For more information about using directories, please see the EDB Postgres Advanced Server Guide, available at:
|
|

The *Directory* dialog organizes the definition of a directory through the
|
|
following tabs: *General*, *Definition*, *Security*, and *SQL*.
|
|
The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields on the *General* tab to specify directory attributes:
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to add a directory alias name. This name will be displayed in the object explorer.
|
|
* Select the owner of the directory from the drop-down listbox in the *Owner*
|
|
field.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Definition* tab to continue.

|
|
:alt: Directory dialog definition tab
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Location* field to specify a fully qualified directory path represented
|
|
by the alias name. The CREATE DIRECTORY command doesn't create the operating system directory.
|
|
The physical directory must be created independently using operating system commands.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Security* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/directory_security.png
|
|
:alt: Directory dialog security tab
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
NOTE:- This *Security* tab will be only available for EPAS 17.
|
|
|
|
Use the *Security* tab to assign privileges for the directory.
|
|
|
|
Use the *Privileges* panel to assign security privileges. Click the *Add* icon
|
|
(+) to assign a set of privileges:
|
|
|
|
* Select the name of the role from the drop-down listbox in the *Grantee* field.
|
|
* The current user, who is the default grantor for granting the privilege, is displayed in the *Grantor* field.
|
|
* Click inside the *Privileges* field. Check the boxes to the left of one or
|
|
more privileges to grant the selected privileges to the specified user.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Add* icon to assign additional sets of privileges; to discard a
|
|
privilege, click the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm deletion in
|
|
the *Delete Row* popup.
|
|
|
|
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|
Your entries in the *Directory* dialog generate a SQL command (see an example
|
|
below). Use the *SQL* tab for review; revisit or switch tabs to make any changes
|
|
to the SQL command.
|
|
|
|
Example
