Hi, I wanted to use connection strings instead of DSN's for the ODBC driver. So i made a trivial change to the sources and added driver_connect function, and everything seems to work OK.
There have been a few requests in the past to add this functionality (at least that's what google told me when i tried to find out whether it's already supported), and now I finally kicked myself to ask whether you would care for a patch. If adding a second connect-like function would seem inappropriate / inconsistent with other drivers, I'd try to rewrite connect so that it would try to detect usage of connection string (would simply checking for a semicolon in the string be ok ???), and use driver_connect as / if needed. I have only tried it under Win32 (and don't even know whether unixODBC and friends support driver_connect), and might not be aware of other tight spots, so if you'd be interested, any guidance as how to make it multi-platform aware / correct would be welcome (which #define would be the right one to check for, etc.). Cheers, CK
