OracleConnection.ChangeDatabase(String) Method

Definition

Changes the current database for an open OracleConnection.

public:
 override void ChangeDatabase(System::String ^ value);
public override void ChangeDatabase (string value);
override this.ChangeDatabase : string -> unit
Public Overrides Sub ChangeDatabase (value As String)

Parameters

value
String

The name of the database to use instead of the current database.

Exceptions

The database name is not valid.

The connection is not open.

Cannot change the database.

Remarks

The value parameter must contain a valid database name, and cannot contain a null value, an empty string (""), or a string with only blank characters.

Note

Unlike the Connection object in the other .NET Framework data providers (SQL Server, OLE DB, and ODBC), OracleConnection does not support a ConnectionTimeout property. Setting a connection time-out either as a property or in the connection string has no effect, and the value returned is always zero. OracleConnection also does not support a Database property or a ChangeDatabase method.
