Syntax

This method is called implicitly by the Database object.

Property of

Database

Description

The open( ) method opens the database connection. It is called implicitly when you set the Database object’s active property to true. In typical usage, you do not call this method directly.

Advanced applications may override the definition of this method to perform supplementary actions when opening the database connection. Custom data drivers must define this method to perform the appropriate actions to open their database connection.
