<attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" />
<para>An <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object represents a unique connection to a data source created by using a connection string or ODBC data source name (DSN). With a client/server database system, it is equivalent to a network connection to the server. Depending on the functionality supported by the native ODBC driver, some methods or properties of an <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object may not be available.</para>
<para>The <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object uses native resources such as ODBC environment and connection handles. You should always explicitly close any open <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> objects by calling <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Close" /> or Dispose before the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object goes out of scope, or by placing the connection within a Using statement. Not doing this leaves the freeing of these native resources to garbage collection. It might not free them immediately. This, in turn, can eventually cause the underlying driver to run out of resources or reach a maximum limit. This has resulted in intermittent failures. For example, you might experience Maximum Connections -related errors while many connections are waiting to be deleted by the garbage collector. Explicitly closing the connections allows for a more efficient use of native resources, enhancing scalability and improving overall application performance.</para>
<block subset="none" type="note">
<para>To deploy high-performance applications, you frequently must use connection pooling. However, when you use the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC, you do not have to enable connection pooling because the provider manages this automatically.</para>
</block>
<para>If one of the Execute methods of the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand" /> class causes a fatal <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException" /> (for example, a SQL Server severity level of 20 or greater), the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.</para>
<para>An application that creates an instance of the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object can require all direct and indirect callers to have sufficient permission to the code by setting declarative or imperative security demands. <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> creates security demands by using the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcPermission" /> object. Users can verify that their code has sufficient permissions by using the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcPermissionAttribute" /> object. Users and administrators can also use the Code Access Security Policy Tool (Caspol.exe) to modify security policy at the computer, user, and enterprise levels. For more information, see <format type="text/html"><a href="93e099eb-daa1-4f1e-b031-c1e10a996f88">Code Access Security and ADO.NET</a></format>.</para>

<attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" />
<para>The <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property is designed to match ODBC connection string format as closely as possible. The <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> can be set only when the connection is closed, and as soon as it is set it is passed, unchanged, to the Driver Manager and the underlying driver. Therefore, the syntax for the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> must exactly match what the Driver Manager and underlying driver support.</para>
<para>You can use the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property to connect to a variety of data sources. This includes an ODBC data source name (DSN). The following example illustrates several possible connection strings.</para>
<code>"Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=AdventureWorks;"
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=ORACLE8i7;Persist Security Info=False;Trusted_Connection=Yes"
"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\bin\Northwind.mdb"
"Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=c:\bin\book1.xls"
"Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};DBQ=c:\bin"
"DSN=dsnname"</code>
<block subset="none" type="note">
<para>The .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC does not support the Persist Security Info keyword that is supported by other .NET Framework data providers. However, the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property behaves as if Persist Security Info were set to false. This means that you cannot retrieve the password from the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property if the connection has been opened. When the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property is read from an <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object that has been opened, the connection string is returned minus the password. You cannot change this behavior; therefore, if the application requires the password, store it separately before calling <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open" />.</para>
</block>
<para>Many of the settings specified in the string have corresponding read-only properties (for example, Server=(local), which corresponds to the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.DataSource" /> property). These properties are updated after the connection is opened, except when an error is detected. In this case, none of the properties are updated. <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> properties (such as <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Database" />) return only default settings or those settings specified in the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" />.</para>
<para>In the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.0, validation of the connection string does not occur until an application calls the <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open" /> method. It is the responsibility of the underlying ODBC driver to validate the connection string. If the connection string contains invalid or unsupported properties, the driver may raise an <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException" /> at run time.</para>
<para>However, in the .NET Framework version 1.1 and later versions, some basic validation of the connection string occurs as soon as you set the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionString" /> property. At that time, the data provider verifies that the connection string meets the "keyword=value;..." format, but it does not verify whether keywords or values are valid. The remaining verification is performed by the underlying ODBC driver when the application calls the <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open" /> method.</para>
<para>An ODBC connection string has the following syntax: </para>
<code>connection-string ::= empty-string[;] | attribute[;] | attribute; connection-string
empty-string ::=
attribute ::= attribute-keyword=attribute-value | DRIVER=[{]attribute-value[}]
attribute-keyword ::= DSN | UID | PWD
| driver-defined-attribute-keyword
attribute-value ::= character-string
driver-defined-attribute-keyword ::= identifier</code>
<para>where <paramref name="character-string" /> has zero or more characters; <paramref name="identifier" /> has one or more characters; <paramref name="attribute-keyword" /> is not case sensitive; <paramref name="attribute-value" /> can be case sensitive; and the value of the DSN keyword does not consist only of blanks.</para>
<para>Because of connection string and initialization file grammar, keywords and attribute values should be avoided that contain the characters []{}(),;?*=!@ not enclosed with braces. The value of the DSN keyword cannot consist only of blanks and should not contain leading blanks. Because of the grammar of the system information, keywords and data source names cannot contain the backslash (\) character.</para>
<para>Applications do not have to add braces around the attribute value after the Driver keyword unless the attribute contains a semicolon (;), in which case the braces are required. If the attribute value that the driver receives includes braces, the driver should not remove them but they should be part of the returned connection string.</para>
<para>A DSN or connection string value enclosed with braces ({}) that contains any of the characters []{}(),;?*=!@ is passed intact to the driver. However, when you use these characters in a keyword, the Driver Manager returns an error when you work with file DSNs, but passes the connection string to the driver for regular connection strings. Avoid using embedded braces in a keyword value.</para>
<para>The connection string may include any number of driver-defined keywords. Because the DRIVER keyword does not use information from the system, the driver must define enough keywords so that a driver can connect to a data source using only the information in the connection string. The driver defines which keywords are required to connect to the data source.</para>
<para>If any keywords are repeated in the connection string, there is no guarantee which value will be selected.</para>
<block subset="none" type="note">
<para>If an ODBC driver supports connection strings longer than 1024 characters, you can use a data source name (DSN) to exceed the maximum length limitation.</para>

<para>Unlike the .NET Framework data providers for SQL Server and OLE DB, the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC does not support setting this property as a connection string value, because it is not a valid ODBC connection keyword. To specify a connection time-out, set the <see cref="P:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.ConnectionTimeout" /> property before calling <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open" />. This is equivalent to setting the ODBC SQLSetConnectAttr SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMOUT attribute.</para>

<para>New in ADO.NET 2.0 is support for using the <see cref="M:System.Data.Common.DbConnection.EnlistTransaction(System.Transactions.ITransaction)" /> method to enlist in a distributed transaction.

<para>When <paramref name="collectionName" /> is specified as null, the <see cref="T:System.Data.DataTable" /> contains information about all the metadata that is available, and its restrictions.</para>
<para>The <paramref name="restrictionValues" /> parameter can supply n depth of values which are specified by the restrictions collection for a specific collection. In order to set values on a given restriction, and not set the values of other restrictions, you must set the preceding restrictions to null and then put the appropriate value in for the restriction that you would like to specify a value for.</para>
<para>An example of this is the "Tables" collection. If the "Tables" collection has three restrictions (database, owner, and table name), and you want to get back only the tables associated with the owner "Carl," then you would need to pass in at least the following values: null, "Carl". If a restriction value is not passed in, the default values are used for that restriction. This is the same mapping as passing in null, which is different from passing in an empty string for the parameter value. In that case, the empty string ("") is considered to be the value for the specified parameter. </para>

<para>ReleaseObjectPool can be called to release the ODBC environment handle. You might want to call this method if, for example, the connection object will not be used again. When all connections in the environment are closed, the environment can be disposed. Note that calling the method alone does not actually release the active connections that exist in the environment.</para>
<para>The following must occur before the environment is finally disposed: </para>
<list type="ordered">

<para>Call <see cref="M:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Close" /> to release the <see cref="T:System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection" /> object from the environment.</para>
