Indicates whether Elipse E3 has an active connection with a database. Elipse E3 normally uses two connections with this database, one for writing and another one for reading. This property is in True if at least one of those two connections is connected and working. This property should not be used to detect connection failures, as it may be in False in several situations, such as:

•When a database is not in use, that is, no writing or reading operation was executed

•When a database was just configured, that is, when a connection property of the database changes at run time all connections are closed, and they are reconnected only at the next reading or writing operation

•When a database connection drops, such as when the network is not available or the database was closed

•When the Database object is disabled, although with a Database object deactivated, a connection can be reestablished if an application requests an immediate reading or writing to the database

This is a read-only property.
