By data, you mean the actual data, not the .odb file. How do you determine
that? You can't just try to connect:
 - can take network requests, time (large list), consume client licence spot on
SQL server, ...
 - you may be missing a password; you will not ask the password of all
entries(!). How will you reliably determine if the connection failed 
You want to limit it to non-network requests? You will still need to open each
.odb file, see what it connects to (embedded data? network database? another
data file?) and make a decision. Also not good for performance, a file can also
be on a slow NAS / network filesystem over a VPN over slow Internet, ...

If you mean checking whether the .odb file is reachable, that can work, and I
would not oppose the patch. Not sure users will understand the difference
between the odb and the data, but <shrug>
