The webpage
http://www.connectionstrings.com/oracle/
provides a good introduction to connection strings. But two more questions:
1.) Does the order of the connection string paramters matter ?
In other words: Can I write e.g.
User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Integrated Security=no;Data Source=MyOracleDB;
instead of:
Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Integrated Security=no;
2.) Are blanks in the connection string allowed?
In other words can I write e.g.:
Data Source = MyOracleDB; User Id=myUsername; Password = myPassword; Integrated Security = no;
instead of
Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Integrated Security=no;
Note the blanks around the "=" and after the semicolon?
