Connection option descriptions

The connection option descriptions in this section are listed alphabetically by the GUI name that appears on the driver Setup dialog box. The connection string attribute name, along with its short name, is listed immediately underneath the GUI name in the option topics.
In most cases, the GUI name and the attribute name are the same; however, some exceptions exist. If you need to look up an option by its connection string attribute name, please refer to the following tables of connection string attribute names.
Also, a few connection string attributes, for example, Password, do not have equivalent options that appear on the GUI. They are in the list of descriptions by their attribute names.
The following tables provide a summary of supported connection options by functionality, including their attribute names, short names, and default values.
