What is a password file in a database and why is it required when a user can be authenticated using data dictionary tables?
Answer Posted / Ajay Kumar Dewabansi
A password file stores encrypted passwords for users. While it's possible to authenticate users using the data dictionary tables, using a password file improves security as the actual passwords are not stored in plain text. Also, it simplifies administrative tasks by allowing centralized management of passwords.
