在MSDN中，.Net的數據庫連接字符串都有詳細的說明，我這裡以代碼范例的方式羅列一些，具體的每一項代表的意義可以參看MSDN.
ADO.Net 中數據庫連接方式(微軟提供)
微軟提供了以下四種數據庫連接方式：
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
System.Data.SqlClIEnt.SqlConnection
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
System.Data.OracleClIEnt.OracleConnection
下面我們以范例的方式，來依次說明：
System.Data.SqlClIEnt.SqlConnection
常用的一些連接字符串(C#代碼)：
SqlConnection conn
= new SqlConnection( "Server=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;database=Pubs");
SqlConnection conn
= new SqlConnection("server=(local)\\NetSDK;database=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(
"Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Northwind;");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(
" data source=(local);initial catalog=xr;integrated security=SSPI;
persist security info=False;workstation id=XURUI;packet size=4096; ");
SqlConnection myConn = new
System.Data.SqlClIEnt.SqlConnection("Persist Security Info=False;Integrated
Security=SSPI;database=northwind;server=MySQLServer");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(
" uid=sa;pwd=passWords;initial catalog=pubs;data source=127.0.0.1;Connect Timeout=900");

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
常用的一些連接字符串(C#代碼)：
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\MyWeb\81\05\GrocerToGo.mdb");
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(
@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;PassWord=;
User ID=Admin;Data Source=grocertogo.mdb;");
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(
"Provider=MSDAORA; Data Source=Oracle8i7;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=yes");
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\bin\LocalAccess40.mdb");
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=MySQLServer;Integrated Security=SSPI");

System.Data.OracleClIEnt.OracleConnection
常用的一些連接字符串(C#代碼)：
OracleConnection myConn = new System.Data.OracleClIEnt.OracleConnection(
"Data Source=Oracle8i;Integrated Security=yes");

System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
常用的一些連接字符串(C#代碼)：
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(
"Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServer;Trusted_Connection=yes;Database=Northwind;");
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=Oracle8i7;
Persist Security Info=False;Trusted_Connection=yes");
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(
"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\bin\nwind.mdb");
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(
"Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=c:\bin\book1.xls");
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(
"Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};DBQ=c:\bin");
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection("DSN=dsnname");

其他廠商提供的數據庫連接：
DB2Connection myConn = new IBM.Data.DB2.DB2Connection(
"DATABASE = SAMPLE;UID=<username>; PWD=<passWord>;");
DB2Connection myConn = new IBM.Data.DB2.DB2Connection("DATABASE = SAMPLE");
BdpConnection myConn = new Borland.Data.Provider.BdpConnection("assembly=Borl
and.Data.Mssql,Version=1.1.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=91d62ebb5b0d1b1b;ve
ndorclIEnt=sqloledb.dll;osauthentication=False;database=<database>;usernam
e=<user>;hostname=<host>;password=<passWord>;provider=MSSQL");
BdpConnection myConn = new Borland.Data.Provider.BdpConnection("assembly=Borl
and.Data.Db2,Version=1.1.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=91d62ebb5b0d1b1b;ve
ndorclIEnt=db2cli.dll;database=<database>;username=<user>;
password=<passWord>;provider=DB2");
Connection Pooling
在SQL Server、OLE DB和.Net框架結構中的Data Provider中，都提供了隱式的連接池連接支持。你可以在ConnectionString中指定不同的參數值控制連接池的行為。比如下面的例子使OLE DB的連接池無效並自動地進行事務處理：
Provider=SQLOLEDB;OLE DB Services=-4;Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;
在SQL Server.Net Data Provider中提供了以下參數設置控制連接池的行為：Connection Lifttime、Connection Reset、Enlist、Max Pool Size、Min Pool Size和Pooling。
