The name of the database to which you want to connect.
If this property is not specified, a connection is established to the specified server without connecting to a particular database. A connection that is established to the server without connecting to the database allows an application to use CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE SQL statements. These statements require that the driver cannot be connected to a database. An application can connect to the database after the connection is established by executing the DATABASE SQL statement.
Refer to your IBM Informix documentation for details on using the CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, and DATABASE SQL statements.
