ConnectionName
This attribute enables you to attach a symbolic name to any database connection. Connection names are unique within a process.
This attribute is also available as a client connection attribute.
TimesTen uses the symbolic name to help identify the connection in various administrative utilities, such as ttIsql, ttXactAdmin and ttStatus. This can be particularly useful with processes that make multiple connections to the database, as is typical with multithreaded applications or in the identification of remote clients.
The value of this attribute is intended to be dynamically defined at connection time using the connection string. The default value is the connecting executable file name. It can also be defined statically in the DSN definition. Values used for ConnectionName should follow SQL identifier syntax rules.
