The [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Native Client ODBC driver complies with those rules. One of the attributes controlled by **SQLSetEnvAttr** is whether connection pooling is to be used. If connection pooling is used with the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Native Client ODBC driver, the *DriverCompletion* parameter must be set to SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT when connecting with either [SQLDriverConnect](../../relational-databases/native-client-odbc-api/sqldriverconnect.md) or **SQLConnect**. ## See Also [SQLSetEnvAttr Function](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=59369) [ODBC API Implementation Details](../../relational-databases/native-client-odbc-api/odbc-api-implementation-details.md)
