Description: Current Catalog
The name of the current catalog. The consumer can use the CATALOGS schema rowset to enumerate catalogs.
Note Some providers support changing the current catalog (database) on a connection through provider-specific mechanisms, such as executing SQL SET statements. However, to ensure interoperability and to prevent inconsistent provider states, consumers should instead change the current catalog by setting DBPROP_CURRENTCATALOG rather than by executing provider-specific statements.
