Specifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection.

Data Type

int

Default Value

0

Remarks

Setting this property to a value greater than 0 (default) limits the connection’s lifespan, after which the driver terminates the connection.

Leaving this property blank or setting it to 0, ensures that connections remain open until explicitly closed or terminated by external factors such as network interruptions or session timeouts.

This property is useful for managing resource utilization and ensuring stale or idle connections do not persist indefinitely.
