# ConnectionString

The connection string to use to connect to the coding SQL database. You must set this parameter in the coding configuration section when you have set CodifierType to `odbc` for one or more of your Fact Bank systems.

The connection string is passed on to the database, so you can use a connection string that works with any SQL client application.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, remove the spaces in the connection string.
