AutoStart Connection Parameter [Astart]

Prevents a database server from being started if no connection is found.

Usage

Anywhere

Default

Yes

Description

By default, if no server is found during a connection attempt, and a database file is specified, then a database server is started on the same machine. You can turn this behavior off by setting the AutoStart parameter to OFF in the connection string.

Example
