this solution has been verified on mysql database livecycle es 8.0.  database schema later versions of livecycle es (8.2.1, 9, 10 etc…), , other database types (oracle, sql server) may differ, , may require modifications above sql statements.

in databases “edcprincipallocalaccountentity” table not exist, represented “edcprincipallocalaccount” table. information in technote provided as-is , should tested before applying production database.  performing full backup of database before applying changes recommended
