TDatabase.Params Property

Contains database connection parameters for the Borland Database Engine (BDE) alias associated with the database component.

Pascal

property Params: TStrings;

C++

__property TStrings Params;

Description

Use Params to examine or specify database connection parameters, such as path name, server name, schema-caching size, language driver, user name, and password. Actual parameters in Params differ depending on the current BDE alias and driver for the database component.

Params is a list of string items, each representing a different database connection parameter. If the AliasName property specifies a valid BDE alias, then Params automatically contains the parameters defined for that alias. If, instead of providing an alias, an application uses the DriverName property to provide a local alias, the application must provide Params values directly.

Note: Applications can use Params to override the default settings supplied by a BDE alias.

Tip: At design time double-click a TDatabase component to invoke the Database editor and set Params.
