TAureliusConnection Class

Non-visual design-time component that configures and provides database connections for the Aurelius ORM framework.

Remarks

TAureliusConnection is the primary RAD way to set up a database connection. It supports two modes:

Adapter mode: wraps an existing third-party data-access component (such as a FireDAC TFDConnection or dbExpress TSQLConnection) and adapts it to the IDBConnection interface used by Aurelius. Set AdaptedConnection, AdapterName, and SQLDialect to use this mode.

Driver mode: connects directly to the database using an Aurelius native driver, without requiring any third-party component. Set DriverName and populate Params to use this mode.

The component also acts as a singleton connection pool: it creates a single IDBConnection instance internally and reuses it for all object manager instances that reference this component via TAureliusManager.Connection. To create an independent new connection, use CreateConnection.
