Indicates whether or not a database connection is active.

Syntax:

property Connected: Boolean;

Description:

Set Connected to True to establish a database connection without opening a dataset.

Set Connected to False to close a database connection. An application can check Connected to determine the current status of a database connection. If Connected is True, the database connection is active; if False, and the KeepConnection property is also False, then the connection is inactive.

Set KeepConnection to True to avoid having to login to the server each time a database connection is reopened.
