CtInitialCatalog (Property)

In french: CxInitialCatalog

Available only with this kind of connection

CtInitialCatalog is used to find out the default database defined for the access. You have the ability to identify the default database defined for the connection for example.

This information was specified:

when the connection was created in the data model editor,
when the connection was defined in HConnect, HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.

This property can be used for a data file or for a connection defined in the data model editor or by programming.

Example

// Find out the database that will be used on the data source
// of "MyConnection"
Info( MaConnexion.CxInitialCatalog)

Syntax

<Initial Catalog> = <File name/connection>.CtInitialCatalog

<Initial Catalog>: Character string
