AttachDBFilename -or- extended properties -or- Initial File Name |
|
The name of the primary file, including the full path name, of an attachable database. The database name must be specified with the keyword 'database'. |
Connect Timeout -or- Connection Timeout |
15 |
The length of time (in seconds) to wait for a connection to the server before terminating the attempt and generating an error. |
Connection Lifetime |
0 |
When a connection is returned to the pool, its creation time is compared with the current time, and the connection is destroyed if that time span (in seconds) exceeds the value specified by connection lifetime. Useful in clustered configurations to force load balancing between a running server and a server just brought on-line. |
Connection Reset |
'true' |
Determines whether the database connection is reset when being removed from the pool. Setting to 'false' avoids making an additional server round-trip when obtaining a connection, but the programmer must be aware that the connection state is not being reset. |
Current Language |
|
The SQL Server Language record name. |
Data Source -or- Server -or- Address -or- Addr -or- Network Address |
|
The name or network address of the instance of SQL Server to which to connect. |

'true' |
When true, the pooler automatically enlists the connection in the creation thread's current transaction context. |
Initial Catalog -or- Database |
|
The name of the database. |
Integrated Security -or- Trusted_Connection |
'false' |
Whether the connection is to be a secure connection or not. Recognized values are 'true', 'false', and 'sspi', which is equivalent to 'true'. |

The corresponding network DLL must be installed on the system to which you connect. If you do not specify a network and you use a local server (for example, "." or "(local)"), shared memory is used. |

8192 |
Size in bytes of the network packets used to communicate with an instance of SQL Server. |
Password -or- Pwd |
|
The password for the SQL Server account logging on. |
Persist Security Info |
'false' |
When set to 'false', security-sensitive information, such as the password, is not returned as part of the connection if the connection is open or has ever been in an open state. Resetting the connection string resets all connection string values including the password. |

'true' |
When true, the SQLConnection object is drawn from the appropriate pool, or if necessary, is created and added to the appropriate pool. |
