Property Getters/Setters Summary
booleangetBackgroundRefresh()
void
setBackgroundRefresh(booleanvalue)

The value of the property is OLEDBCommandType integer constant.
java.lang.StringgetConnectionDescription()
void
setConnectionDescription(java.lang.Stringvalue)
           Specifies the user description for this connection
intgetConnectionId()
Specifies The unique identifier of this connection.
java.lang.StringgetConnectionInfo()

           The connection information string is used to make contact with an OLE DB or ODBC data source.
intgetCredentials()
void
setCredentials(intvalue)
           Specifies the authentication method to be used when establishing (or re-establishing) the connection. The value of the property is CredentialsMethodType integer constant.

           Indicates whether the associated workbook connection has been deleted. true if the connection has been deleted; otherwise, false.
booleanisNew()
void
setNew(booleanvalue)
           True if the connection has not been refreshed for the first time; otherwise, false. This state can happen when the user saves the file before a query has finished returning.

For ODBC connections, serverCommand is usually a broader query than command (no WHERE clause is present in the former). Based on these 2 commands(Command and ServerCommand), parameter UI can be populated and parameterized queries can be constructed
java.lang.StringgetSourceFile()
void
setSourceFile(java.lang.Stringvalue)
