SQLCONNECT environment variable

Specifies additional connection parameters used when connecting to the database server.

Syntax
SQLCONNECT=parameter=value; ...
Remarks

This string is a list of parameter settings, of the form parameter=value, delimited by semicolons.

Connection parameters specified by the SQLCONNECT environment variable are not used if they have already been specified in the connection string.

For information about the supported connection parameters, see Connection parameters.

Password security risk

Because the password is in plain text, putting it into the SQLCONNECT environment variable is a security risk.
