CtDescribedDatabase (Property)
In french: CxBaseDeDonnéesDécrite
OLE DBAvailable only with this kind of connection
The CtDescribedDatabase property is used to set the OLE DB data source when connecting to a specific table via OLE DB. You can:
  • Get the OLE DB data source used to connect to a table via OLE DB. This data source was described in the data model editor or when the data file was described through programming.
    Caution: the CtDescribedDatabase property ignores any changes made with HConnect.
    This property can be used for a data file defined in the data model editor or through programming.
  • Define the OLE DB data source used for connecting to a table by OLE DB (when the data file is described through programming). This property is equivalent to the CtDatabase property.
Reminder: HConnect is used to redefine one or more parameters of the OLE DB connection to a table. By default, the characteristics of the OLE DB connection are defined:
  • in the data model editor during the description of the data file,
  • when the data file is described through programming.
Example
// Find out the OLE DB data source
ResOLEDBDatabase = Customer.CtDescribedDatabase
