Connection string
Specify one connection string for the first connection, and then modify it
for use in subsequent connections, as follows:
•
On the initial connection, specify LocationName, CollectionId, CreateDefaultPackage, and
sendStringParametersAsUnicode (with no spaces) as the following example shows:
LocationName=SAMPLE;CollectionId=DEFAULT;CreateDefaultPackage=TRUE;
sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false
Note:
If the database uses Unicode, specify true for the
sendStringParametersAsUnicode
parameter.
