A new DB2 Best Practices paper has been published on developerWorks: DB2 best practices: A practical guide to restrictive databases. Did you know that instead of CREATE DATABASE foo you could also say ``` CREATE DATABASE foo RESTRICTIVE

In the new paper the authors compare how the non-restrictive and restrictive databases differ in terms of privileges with a focus on common use cases and administrative groups. It helps to understand how to make use of restrictive databases. While in regular databases a typical problem to secure the database, in a restrictive database it means granting the needed privileges so users can "work".
