ODBC Connection Strings
ODBC connection strings may now be used in addition to traditional data source name (DSN). For example:
gwalias mssql my_con_str "Driver={ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server};Server=MYSERVER;Database=MYDATABSE" USERNAME PASSWORD
Note: Microsoft SQL Server Operating System (OS) authentication for the connecting client does not work if a connection string is used; in this case a system DSN is still required.
