CONNECTION_PROPERTY ( { integer-expression1 | string-expression }

string-expression The connection property name. You must specify either the property ID or the property name.
integer-expression2 The connection ID of the current database connection. The current connection is used if this argument is omitted.
The following statement returns the number of prepared statements being maintained, for example, 4:
SELECT connection_property( 'PrepStmt' )FROM iq_dummy
The current connection is used if the second argument is omitted.
