Attributes

Remarks

Returns true if the current thread is holding an active connection to the database.

The name of this method comes from a time when having an active connection to the database meant that the thread was holding an actual lock on the database. Nowadays, there is no longer a true "database lock" although threads may block if they cannot acquire a database connection to perform a particular operation.
