Choose the Database Identification Maintenance option to maintain fields in the _db-detail table. The _db-detail table contains information about audit-enabled databases, including the globally unique identifier (GUID), the database description, and the Passkey (if available).

Note: Only DBAs may access the Database Identification Maintenance dialog box.

The Database Identification Maintenance dialog box contains the following fields:

  • DB Identifier — Displays the DB Identifier.
  • DB Passkey — A password field.
  • DB Description — A description of the database.
  • Additional Details — A field for entering additional information about the database.
  • New DB Passkey/Identifier — Select this option to generate a new DB Identifier or to change the DB Passkey. When you select this option, the Data Dictionary displays the New Database Passkey/Identifier dialog box. For information about the New Database Passkey/Identifier dialog box, see New Database Passkey/Identifier dialog box.
Note: Every time the New Database Passkey/Identifier dialog box launches, the Data Dictionary generates a new database identifier.
