tejaswini.patil (2/17/2011) Please find details on the below url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z29kb47d(v=vs.71).aspx
Thanks for the link. Although it's for Visual Studio .Net 2003, I can browse to the newer versions from there.

According to that link:
"A database reference is simply a pointer to a database."
I chose the pointer option and got it wrong. So, is there two correct options?

The link says " Database References The database project now includes the concept of database reference. A database reference is simply a pointer to a database. Whenever you create a database reference, the database project immediately checks the list of database connections in Server Explorer and if there is no connection to that database, it creates such a connection for you automatically. A database reference differs from a database connection, because a reference is merely a pointer; it does not allow you to enumerate the contents of the database. A database connection, on the other hand, lets you inspect the contents of the database. A database reference is persisted with the database project. When you save a project to disk, the reference is saved. When another user opens the project and begins using it, the reference is available to that user. Furthermore, when any user opens a database project, the project checks that user's Server Explorer for a corresponding connection and if no such connection exists, the database project automatically creates it. "
i.e. a new concept of Database Reference is introduced which is a pointer to a database. So answer to the question should be "Database Reference".
