This component is used for performing connection to database. Its function is similar to the "TDataBase" Delphi component. The component has the following properties:

Property	Description
AliasName	Alias name. The connection to DB will be performed on the base of its properties.
Connected	If "True," it activates the connection.
DatabaseName	A name, which will be added to the list of aliases.
DriverName	Driver name, which provides connection to DB.
LoginPrompt	Defines whether it is necessary to request a password upon connection to DB.
Params	Connection parameters.

The component performs connection to the database (as a rule, it is used for connection to back-end). Settings for connection are taken either from the corresponding alias (the "AliasName" property) or entered manually (to perform this, it is necessary to specify the driver’s name: "DriverName"). The component must have the "DatabaseName" property filled, since this value would be in the list of aliases.

To set connection parameters, it is necessary to call the "Params" property’s editor.

The LoginPrompt property defines whether it is necessary to request a password when connecting to DB. If "LoginPromt" = "False," a user name and a password must be specified in connection parameters, for example:

SERVER NAME=Path_to_file_*.gdb
USER NAME=SYSDBA
PASSWORD=masterkey
