DataSource :: dictionaryConnection - DICTIONARY.CONNECTION option

Usually, the dictionary database location is determined by the system (automatic). When the client is connected to a server and opening the dictionary via server fails, the system tries to open the dictionary locally. When the client is not connected to a server and local opening of dictionary fails, the dictionary will be opened via main client (when being connected to a server).

When passing local as connection type, the dictionary will be opened locally, always. When passing server as connection type, the dictionary will be opened via server. When no server connection has been established for the client, the dictionary will be opened via main client connection. When the main client is not connected, too, opening the dictionary fails
Return value:  Database connection type ( odaba::ConnectionTypes  )

The database connection types defines the way of accessing the database (local, via server or determining the access automatically).
