Comments

The ppwszInitializationString retrieved using this method will have any leading or trailing spaces trimmed from it. Hence, the string might not be exactly the same one as written using the IDataInitialize::WriteStringToStorage method. For example, passing in the string

   "Provider=MSDASQL.1; Integrated Security = 'SSPI'"

will be returned as

   "Provider=MSDASQL.1; Integrated Security = 'SSPI'"

When using .udl files to establish a connection, add "Udl Pooling" to the registry under the "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess" key to improve performance. A Cache Size value greater than 0 (Cache Size=1) will enable the feature. A value of 100 is recommended.
