Description

The connection string can have three fields:

Name

Description

Typical Value

DataSource

File name of the database file or directory name of the database directory (see "Databases")

C:\TurboDB\MyDb1.tdbd

Exclusive

Defines, whether other applications can access the same database at the same time.

false

ReadOnly

Defines, whether the application can execute modification statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) over this connection.

false

A typical connection string looks like this: DataSource="C:\TurboDB\MyDb1.tdbd";Exclusive=True;ReadOnly=False

The values for Exclusive and ReadOnly can be set by properties as well. The DataSource is modified by the ChangeDatabase function.

Compatibility

TurboDB Managed only supports database files, the DataSource field cannot be a directory.

In TurboDB Managed, the Exclusive field has no effect, because TurboDB Managed always opens the database in exclusive mode.
