The number of times the driver retries connection attempts to the primary database server, and if specified, alternate servers until a successful connection is established.
This option and the Connection Retry Delay connection option, which specifies the wait interval between attempts, can be used in conjunction with failover.
Valid Values
0 | x
where:
x
is a positive integer from 1 to 65535.
Behavior
If set to 0, the driver does not try to connect after the initial unsuccessful attempt.
If set to x, the driver retries connection attempts the specified number of times. If a connection is not established during the retry attempts, the driver returns an error that is generated by the last server to which it tried to connect.
