SpreadsheetWEBConnectionString is a custom function used for getting an encrypted connection string to be used with DBOpen functions. The encrypted connection string is generated on a site-basis, and only allows accessing the applications in that site.

Use the SpreadsheetWEBConnectionString to avoid exposing the connection string that contains your database credentials, as well as updating the connections string when moving applications from one site to the other.
