The arguments are as follows:
a_db_property
The property requested, either DB_PROP_CLIENT_CHARSET, DB_PROP_SERVER_ADDRESS, or DB_PROP_DBLIB_VERSION.
value_buffer
This argument is filled with the property value as a null-terminated string.
value_buffer_size
The maximum length of the string value_buffer, including the terminating null character.
The following properties are supported:
DB_PROP_CLIENT_CHARSET
This property value gets the client character set (for example, "windows-1252").
DB_PROP_SERVER_ADDRESS
This property value gets the current connection's server network address as a printable string. The shared memory protocol
always returns the empty string for the address. The TCP/IP protocol returns non-empty string addresses.
