ODBC Improved Handling of Invalid Connection String Parameters

Detail name	Value
Changelog Number	19620
Type	Improvement
Status	Resolved
Fix Versions	ODBC 24.1.2
Resolution Date	2024-08-19

Background

Sometimes the user can not influence all connection string parameter sent by an application to the driver.

Since version 24.0.0 Exasol ODBC driver will return an error like

[Exasol][Exasol Driver] Connection String contains invalid parameters: param1.

if one of parameters is not known to the driver (see CHANGELOG: ODBC checks if the connection string parameter names are supported).

Improvement

The user can specify some parameter that will be just ignored by the driver: ignoreparams=param1,...,paramN
Now, if the connection string contains for example param1=abc, the driver will ignore this.
