New Feature

The ODBC driver now allows the connection string parameter OnConnect. This parameter is used to run a single SQL statement immediately after the connection is established as a part of the connect process.

Example connection string

DRIVER={Exasol Driver};EXAHOST=192.168.6.11..14/<fingerprint>:8563;ONCONNECT=SELECT 1;

If the execution of the statement fails, the connection will return an error and will not be established.

Restrictions: the statement cannot contain characters that will have influence on the connection string, like “;”.
