Initialization String

Attribute

InitializationString (IS)

Purpose

One or multiple SQL commands to be executed by the driver after it has established the connection to the database and has performed all initialization for the connection. If the execution of a SQL command fails, the connection attempt also fails and the driver returns an error indicating which SQL command or commands failed.

Valid Values

string
where:
string
is one or multiple SQL commands.
Multiple commands must be separated by semicolons. In addition, if this option is specified in a connection URL, the entire value must be enclosed in parentheses when multiple commands are specified.

Example

Because fetching metadata and generating mapping files can significantly increase the time it takes to connect to Apache Cassandara, the driver caches this information on the client the first time the driver connects on behalf of each user. The cached metadata is used in subsequent connections made by the user instead of re-fetching the metadata from Apache Cassandra. To force the driver to re-fetch the metadata information for a connection, use the InitializationString property to pass the REFRESH MAP CASSANDRA command in the connection URL. For example:
DSN=Cassandra;UID={CassandraID};PWD=secret;InitializationString=(REFRESH MAP CASSANDRA)

Default

None
