The Database API 315
MMDB.getConnectionName()
Availability
Dreamweaver UltraDev 1
Description
Gets the connection name that corresponds to the specified connection string. This function is
useful when you need to reselect a connection name in the user interface from data on the page.
If you have a connection string that references two drivers, you can specify both the connection
string and the driver that corresponds to the connection name that you want returned. For
example, you could have two connections:
Connection 1 has the following properties:
ConnectionString="jdbc:inetdae:velcro-qa-5:1433?database=pubs"
DriverName="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver"
Connection 2 has the following properties:
ConnectionString="jdbc:inetdae:velcro-qa-5:1433?database=pubs"
DriverName="com.inet.tds.TdsDriver2"
The connection strings for Connection 1 and Connection 2 are the same. Connection 2 connects
to a more recent version of
TdsDriver. You should pass the driver name to this function to fully
qualify the connection name you want returned.
Arguments
connString {,driverName}
• connString is the connection string that gets the connection name.
• driverName is an optional argument that further qualifies connString.
Returns
A connection name string that corresponds to the connection string.
Example
The following code returns the string "EmpDB":
var connectionName = MMDB.getConnectionName ¬
("dsn=EmpDB;uid=;pwd=");
MMDB.getConnectionString()
