DataDirect has included non-standard connection options (workarounds) for the Connect Series
for ODBC drivers that enable you to take full advantage of packaged ODBC-enabled applications requiring non-standard or extended behavior.
To use these options, we recommend that you create a separate user data source for each application. After you create the data source,
Add the string WorkArounds= (or WorkArounds2=) with a value of
n (WorkArounds=
n or WorkArounds2=
n), where the value
n is the cumulative value of all options added together. For example, if you wanted to use both WorkArounds=1 and WorkArounds=8, you would enter in the data source:
WARNING: Each of these options has potential side effects related to its use. An option should only be used to address the specific problem for which it was designed. For example, WorkArounds=2 causes the driver to report that database qualifiers are not supported, even when they are. As a result, applications that use qualifiers may not perform correctly when this option is enabled.
