Description

When connecting with the ODBC Driver, there is a timeout which configures how long the driver will wait until the server machine responds. According to the Documentation, this default is 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
The default timeout was erroneously 24 hours instead of 2 seconds.

Workaround

You can explicitly set the "connecttimeout" property in the driver as described here.

Fix

We have set the default "connecttimeout" to 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) as specified in the documentation.
