DELETE CONNECTION Command

  • Article

Deletes a named connection from the current database.

DELETE CONNECTION ConnectionName

Parameters

  • ConnectionName
    Specifies the name of the named connection to delete from the current database.

Remarks

Deleting a named connection definition does not close any active connections.

DELETE CONNECTION requires exclusive use of the database. To open a database for exclusive use, include EXCLUSIVE in OPEN DATABASE.

Example

The following example assumes an ODBC data source called MyFoxSQLNT is available, and the user ID for the data source is "sa." The testdata database is opened, and a connection named Myconn is created. DISPLAY CONNECTIONS is used to display the named connections in the database. The connection is then removed from the database with DELETE CONNECTION.

CLOSE DATABASES
OPEN DATABASE (HOME(2) + 'Data\testdata')

CREATE CONNECTION Myconn DATASOURCE "MyFoxSQLNT" USERID "sa"
DISPLAY CONNECTIONS    && Displays named connections in the database
DELETE CONNECTION Myconn  && Removes the connection just created
