Background:

The ODBC standard says: "A DSN or connection string value enclosed with braces ({}) containing any of the characters []{}(),;?*=!@ is passed intact to the driver. "

Bug:

The Exasol ODBC driver did not consider the braces"{}" and treated them like any other characters.

Solution:

Our ODBC Driver will handle the connection string in parameters in braces according to the ODBC standard.

Workaround:

You can use a connection string that is not enclosed in braces
