To create a string suitable for a DSN-Less connection in Windows, create an
empty file with the extension ".udl". Double-click the file and select the
options you want for your connection. Close the Universal Data Link Editor, and
re-open the file with notepad. You'll see a connection string. Make sure, if
you've referenced a DSN, to remove the reference and replace it with an
explicit declaration (in Extended Properties) of the driver name to use.
ex: DRIVER={PostgreSQL+ (Beta)};
