Description
This property is a global variable declared at the beginning of the page and
represents each database connection used within the page. The connection object
encapsulates the implementation details used to establish the connection with
the database (i.e. database name, location, user login/password, etc).
The database connection variable can be used to perform custom database operations
(e.g. it is used as the fourth argument of the CCDLookup function). The name of
the database connection object is created by prepending the connection name (configured
in the CCS environment) with the prefix "DB" (e.g. for a connection called
Internet within CodeCharge Studio, the corresponding variable name for
the connection object would be DBInternet).
