Connection String Attribute

Connecting to the database through a connection string is described in "Connecting to a Data Source Using a Connection String" in "The Oracle Wire Protocol Driver" of the DataDirect Connect for ODBC and Connect XE for ODBC User's Guide. The function of the new InitializationString (IS) connection string attribute is the same as that described under "Configuring the Oracle Wire Protocol Driver". The syntax for this connection string attribute is:

InitializationString=SQL_statement 

For example:

InitializationString=alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE = 
`AMERICAN' 

In this example, the language of the current session is changed to American.
