Connecting to a database
You can connect to a database file by the following steps:
| 1. | Set the TABSDatabase.MultiUser property to True, if multi-user database access is expected or set the MultiUser property to False, if database access is known to be a single-user one.
|
| 2. | Call the TABSDatabase.Open method or set the TABSDatabase.Connected property to True.
|
Setting Connected to True executes the Open method. Open verifies that the database specified by the TABSDatabase.DatabaseFileName exists and opens the database file.
Disconnecting from a database
There are two ways to disconnect open database from a database component:
| 1. | Set the TABSDatabase.Connected property to False.
|
| 2. | Call the TABSDatabase.Close method.
|
Setting Connected to False calls Close. Close closes all open datasets and database file. For example, the following code closes all active datasets and database file for a database component :
ABSDatabase1.Connected := False;
