Specifying Connection Properties

You can modify a connection by specifying connection attributes in the connection string. Optionally, you may specify attribute=value pairs in the connection string to override the default values stored in the data source. You can specify long or short names in the connection string, which has the form:

"attribute=value;attribute=value;attribute=value" 

For example, in the following example, the connection string can be used to connect to the DB2 host hal:

"Host=hal;Port=19998;User Id=test01;Password=test01;Database=test;" 

NOTE: All connection string attribute names are case-insensitive. For example, Password is the same as password. However, the values of some attributes, such as User ID and Password, may be case-sensitive.

Refer to the SequeLink Developer's Reference for information about specifying attributes through the .NET Client's Connection object.
