Interface IDatabaseConnectionInfo

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IDatabaseConnectionInfo2

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface IDatabaseConnectionInfo
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that provide information about the Workspace's connected database.

Superseded By

IDatabaseConnectionInfo2

When To Use

Use IDatabaseConnectionInfo when you want to get the name of the user or database from a workspace if that user or database is different from that in connection properties returned by ConnectionProperties on the IWorkspace interface.

For example, when connected to a SQLServer database with a login that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, that login's username in SQLServer is "dbo". The ConnectedUser property will return "dbo" as the connected user while IWorkspace::ConnectionProperties will return the name of the user with this role.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
