Purpose
Determines if the driver will perform additional processing to return more accurate information for the DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseProductName() and DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseProductVersion() methods.
Valid Values
true | false
Behavior
If set to true, the driver makes an additional query to select the value
of @@version and returns only the product name information from the string it receives when
getDatabaseProductName() is called. When getDatabaseProductVersion() is called, the entire
string is returned. For example:
Adaptive Server Enterprise/12.5.1/EBF 11428/P/NT (1X86)/OS 4.0/ase1251/
1823/32-bit/OPT/Wed Sep 17 11:10:54 2003
If set to false, the driver returns the information that it receives from
the server during the login process. Previous versions of the driver returned this
information.
Default
false
Data Type
boolean
