The following connection option descriptions are listed alphabetically by the GUI name that appears on the driver Setup dialog. The connection string attribute name is listed immediately underneath the GUI name.
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 alphabetical table 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 alphabetically by their attribute names.
Note: SQL Server driver connection string attributes do not use short name equivalents.
