The DROP CONNECTION command is used to delete a gateway connection file to an external SQL database. Connection files are created by the CREATE CONNECTION command and can be used by the SQLCONNECT() and SQLSTRINGCONNECT() remote data connectivity functions to establish a connection for SQL access to a database.

Example

// config.db
set sql to vfp
set sql on
// end of config.db
 
CREATE CONNECTION conn1 DATASOURCE "server1" USERID "user1";
  PASSWORD "pass1" DATABASE "/usr/recital/data/demo"
nStatHand = SQLCONNECT("conn1.gtw")
if nStatHand < 1
    dialog box [Could not connect]
else
    nTabEnd = SQLTABLES(nStatHand)
    if nTabEnd = 1
        select sqlresult
        browse
    endif
    SQLDISCONNECT(nStatHand)
endif
