Currently, the driver has a limited allow-list in `_construct_connection_string()` for **kwargs only**, but passes the base connection string **as-is** to the ODBC driver. The new design implements a comprehensive parser that validates **all** connection string parameters against an allow-list before passing them to ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server. + +This allow-list approach is necessary for three key reasons: + +1. **ODBC Feature Compatibility**: Some ODBC connection string parameters require additional configurations (e.g., Always Encrypted extensibility modules) for which Python doesn't have a first-class experience yet. Allowing these parameters without proper support would create confusion and support burden. + +2. **Future TDS Runtime Migration**: The driver is planned to migrate from ODBC to a Rust-based TDS runtime. While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features will be available during or after the migration. By deliberately allow-listing parameters now, we can ensure a smoother migration path and avoid the breaking change of removing previously exposed parameters later. It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them. + +3. **Simplified Connection Experience**: ODBC connection strings have accumulated many parameter synonyms over decades of backward compatibility (e.g., "server", "address", "addr", "network address" all mean the same thing). A modern Python driver should provide a cleaner, simplified API by exposing only a curated set of parameters with clear, consistent naming. + +--- + +## Table of Contents + +1.

[Future Enhancements](#future-enhancements) + +--- + +## Problem Statement + +### Current Issues + +1. **Inconsistent Filtering**: The driver currently: + - Filters **kwargs** through an allow-list (only 6 parameters: Server, Uid, Pwd, Database, Encrypt, TrustServerCertificate) + - Passes the base `connection_str` parameter **directly** to ODBC without validation + +2. **ODBC Feature Compatibility**: Some ODBC connection string parameters require additional infrastructure: + - Always Encrypted with extensibility modules requires custom key store providers + - Column Encryption Key caching requires additional Python bindings + - These features don't have first-class Python API support yet + - Allowing these parameters creates user confusion and support issues + +3. **Future Migration Concerns**: The driver is planned to migrate to a Rust-based TDS runtime: + - While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features will be available during or after migration + - Some ODBC-specific parameters won't translate to the new runtime + - Being deliberate about which parameters to expose avoids future breaking changes + - It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them + - Gating parameters now prevents users from building dependencies on features that won't be available + +4. **Parameter Synonym Bloat**: ODBC connection strings have accumulated many synonyms: + - "Server", "Address", "Addr", "Network Address" all mean the same thing + - "Uid", "User", "User ID" all mean the same thing + - This creates confusion and inconsistent usage patterns + - A modern Python driver should have a clean, minimal API surface + +5. **No Parsing Logic**: The current implementation uses simple string splitting on `;` which doesn't handle: + - Escaped characters (e.g., `{}` in values) + - Quoted values + - Empty values + - Malformed connection strings + + **Citations**: + - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, lines 28-30: `connection_attributes = connection_str.split(";")` - splits on semicolon without handling braced values. Passwords could have the special characters which are considered delimiters in connection strings. + - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, line 33: `if attribute.lower().split("=")[0] == "driver":` - splits on `=` without handling escaped or braced values + - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, lines 66-67: `for param in parameters:` / `if param.lower().startswith("app="):` - simple string operations, no ODBC-compliant parsing + - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, line 69: `key, _ = param.split("=", 1)` - splits on first `=` only, doesn't handle braces or escaping + +### Design Motivations + +1. **Controlled Feature Set**: By implementing an allow-list, we can: + - Only expose ODBC features that have proper Python API support + - Prevent users from attempting to use unsupported features + - Reduce the support burden by rejecting parameters we can't properly handle + +2. **Migration Path**: The allow-list provides: + - A stable API surface that will work across both ODBC and future Rust-based implementations + - Clear documentation of what parameters are supported + - A deliberate, controlled approach to exposing parameters (easier to add than remove) + - Protection against breaking changes when migrating runtimes + - Ability to achieve ODBC parity incrementally while maintaining backward compatibility + +3. **Simplified API**: By normalizing synonyms and exposing only canonical parameter names: + - Users have a consistent, predictable API + - Documentation is clearer + - Code examples are more uniform + - New Python developers aren't confused by legacy ODBC conventions + +### Requirements + +1. Parse the complete connection string (base + kwargs) +2. Validate all parameters against an allow-list +3. Reconstruct a clean connection string with only allowed parameters +4. Maintain backward compatibility with existing code +5. Ensure high performance (sub-millisecond overhead) +6. Handle ODBC connection string syntax correctly +7.

Deliberate Driver and APP Control** (by design): + +The driver **intentionally** controls these two parameters to ensure consistent behavior: + +- **Driver Parameter** (`helpers.py:38-49`): Any user-provided `Driver=` value is **stripped and replaced** with `{ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server}`. This ensures the Python driver always uses the correct ODBC driver version. + +- **APP Parameter** (`helpers.py:99-109`): Any user-provided `APP=` value is **overwritten** to `MSSQL-Python`. This ensures proper application identification in SQL Server logs and monitoring tools, making it easy to identify connections from this Python driver. + +These are **intentional design choices** that will be preserved in the new allow-list implementation. + +**2. The base `connection_str` parameter bypasses all other filtering** (the problem): + +Only kwargs go through the allow-list check for non-Driver/APP parameters. This means: + +1.

ODBC-specific parameters that won't work in the future Rust-based runtime can create forward compatibility issues +4. Multiple synonyms for the same parameter create API inconsistency + +**3.

Currently, the driver has a limited allow-list in `_construct_connection_string()` for **kwargs only**, but passes the base connection string **as-is** to the ODBC driver. The new design implements a comprehensive parser that uses **lenient ODBC-style parsing** to extract parameters and validates **all** connection string parameters against an allow-list before passing them to ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server. + +**Key Design Philosophy**: The parser follows **ODBC driver behavior** - it parses valid key=value pairs and **silently ignores** malformed entries (with warning logs), rather than raising exceptions. This matches the behavior of all Microsoft SQL Server drivers (ODBC, .NET, JDBC) and ensures maximum compatibility. This allow-list approach is necessary for three key reasons: 1. **ODBC Feature Compatibility**: Some ODBC connection string parameters require additional configurations (e.g., Always Encrypted extensibility modules) for which Python doesn't have a first-class experience yet. Allowing these parameters without proper support would create confusion and support burden. -2. **Future TDS Runtime Migration**: The driver is planned to migrate from ODBC to a Rust-based TDS runtime. While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features will be available during or after the migration. By deliberately allow-listing parameters now, we can ensure a smoother migration path and avoid the breaking change of removing previously exposed parameters later. It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them. +2. **Future Driver Evolution**: The driver may evolve its underlying implementation over time. While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features may remain available as the driver evolves. By deliberately allow-listing parameters now, we can ensure a smoother evolution path and avoid the breaking change of removing previously exposed parameters later. It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them. 3. **Simplified Connection Experience**: ODBC connection strings have accumulated many parameter synonyms over decades of backward compatibility (e.g., "server", "address", "addr", "network address" all mean the same thing).

tested successfully. - -## Components Implemented - -### 1. Connection String Parser (`mssql_python/connection_string_parser.py`) -- **Purpose**: ODBC-compliant connection string parsing -- **Lines**: 194 -- **Features**: - - Handles simple key=value pairs - - Supports braced values: `{value}` - - Correctly handles escaped braces: `}}` → `}` and `{{` → `{` - - Validates connection string format - - Case-insensitive key handling (normalized to lowercase) - - Compliant with MS-ODBCSTR specification - -### 2. Connection String Allow-List (`mssql_python/connection_string_allowlist.py`) -- **Purpose**: Parameter validation and normalization -- **Lines**: ~160 -- **Features**: - - 40+ allowed ODBC connection parameters - - Synonym support (e.g., `UID` ↔ `User ID`, `PWD` ↔ `Password`) - - Case-insensitive key normalization - - Filters out unknown/potentially malicious parameters - - Driver and APP parameters always controlled by driver (not user-settable) - - Optional warning logging for rejected parameters - -### 3.

The parser now raises errors for invalid input instead of silently ignoring malformed entries. - -## Requirements Implemented - -### 1. Duplicate Keywords → Errors -**Before**: Duplicates were silently handled with "first wins" behavior -**After**: All duplicate keywords are flagged as errors - -```python -# Before (lenient): -parser.parse("Server=first;Server=second") # Returns {'server': 'first'} - -# After (strict): -parser.parse("Server=first;Server=second") # Raises ConnectionStringParseError -# Error: "Duplicate keyword 'server' found" -``` - -### 2. Unknown Keywords → Errors (when allowlist provided) -**Before**: Unknown keywords were filtered out with warnings -**After**: All unknown keywords are flagged as errors in one batch - -```python -# Before (lenient): -parser.parse("Server=localhost;BadParam=value") # Returns {'server': 'localhost'} - -# After (strict with allowlist): -allowlist = ConnectionStringAllowList() -parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) -parser.parse("Server=localhost;BadParam=value") # Raises ConnectionStringParseError -# Error: "Unknown keyword 'badparam' is not recognized" -``` - -### 3. Incomplete Specifications → Errors -**Before**: Incomplete specs (keyword without value) were silently ignored -**After**: All incomplete specifications are flagged as errors - -```python -# Before (lenient): -parser.parse("Server;Database=mydb") # Returns {'database': 'mydb'} - -# After (strict): -parser.parse("Server;Database=mydb") # Raises ConnectionStringParseError -# Error: "Incomplete specification: keyword 'server' has no value (missing '=')" -``` - -### 4. Normalization Preserved -**Unchanged**: Key normalization to lowercase still works - -```python -# Both before and after: -parser.parse("SERVER=localhost;DaTaBaSe=mydb") -# Returns {'server': 'localhost', 'database': 'mydb'} -``` - -## Error Batching - -The parser collects **all errors** before raising the exception, so users can fix multiple issues at once: - -```python -parser.parse("Server=first;BadEntry;Server=second;Database") -# Raises ConnectionStringParseError with multiple errors: -# - "Incomplete specification: keyword 'badentry' has no value" -# - "Duplicate keyword 'server' found" -# - "Incomplete specification: keyword 'database' has no value" -``` - -## Code Changes - -### Files Modified - -1. **mssql_python/connection_string_parser.py** - - Added `ConnectionStringParseError` exception class - - Modified `parse()` to collect and raise errors instead of logging warnings - - Added `allowlist` parameter to `__init__()` for keyword validation - - Removed lenient error handling (no more silent ignoring) - - Simplified code by removing logging infrastructure - -2. **mssql_python/connection.py** - - Updated `_construct_connection_string()` to pass allowlist to parser - - Parser now validates keywords during parsing instead of after - -3. **tests/test_010_connection_string_parser.py** - - Added `TestConnectionStringParserErrors` class with 12 new error tests - - Added `TestConnectionStringParserEdgeCases` class with 4 edge case tests - - Updated existing tests to use error-based behavior - - Total: 36 tests (21 basic + 12 error + 4 edge cases) - -4. **tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py** - - Updated tests to expect errors instead of lenient parsing - - Added tests for error batching behavior - - Added tests for parser with/without allowlist - - Total: 15 integration tests - -## Test Coverage - -All tests pass (74 total): -- **test_010_connection_string_parser.py**: 36 tests -- **test_011_connection_string_allowlist.py**: 23 tests -- **test_012_connection_string_integration.py**: 15 tests - -## API Changes - -### New Exception - -```python -class ConnectionStringParseError(Exception): - """Exception raised when connection string parsing fails.""" - - def __init__(self, errors: List[str]): - self.errors = errors # List of all validation errors - # Creates message with all errors listed -``` - -### Updated Constructor - -```python -# Before: -parser = ConnectionStringParser() - -# After (optional allowlist): -allowlist = ConnectionStringAllowList() -parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) # Validates keywords -# OR -parser = ConnectionStringParser() # No keyword validation -``` - -## Backward Compatibility - -**Breaking Change**: Code that relies on lenient parsing will now raise exceptions. - -### Migration Guide - -```python -# Old code (lenient): -try: - parser = ConnectionStringParser() - params = parser.parse(connection_string) - # params might have ignored malformed entries -except: - # Never raised exceptions for malformed input - pass - -# New code (strict): -try: - allowlist = ConnectionStringAllowList() - parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) - params = parser.parse(connection_string) - # params contains only valid, non-duplicate keywords -except ConnectionStringParseError as e: - # Handle validation errors - print("Connection string errors:") - for error in e.errors: - print(f" - {error}") -``` - -## Benefits - -1. **Better User Experience**: Users see all errors at once, can fix them together -2. **Fail Fast**: Invalid configurations caught immediately instead of runtime failures -3. **Clearer Errors**: Specific error messages for each type of problem -4. **Type Safety**: Parser raises typed exceptions instead of returning partial data - -## Examples - -### Valid Connection String -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -result = parser.parse("Server=localhost;Database=mydb;UID=user;PWD=pass") -# Returns {'server': 'localhost', 'database': 'mydb', 'uid': 'user', 'pwd': 'pass'} -``` - -### Duplicate Keywords -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser.parse("Server=first;Server=second") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Duplicate keyword 'server' found -``` - -### Unknown Keywords (with allowlist) -```python -allowlist = ConnectionStringAllowList() -parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) -parser.parse("Server=localhost;InvalidParam=value") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Unknown keyword 'invalidparam' is not recognized -``` - -### Incomplete Specification -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser.parse("Server;Database=mydb") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Incomplete specification: keyword 'server' has no value -``` - -### Multiple Errors -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser.parse("Server=a;NoValue;Server=b") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError with 2 errors: -# - "Incomplete specification: keyword 'novalue' has no value" -# - "Duplicate keyword 'server' found" -``` From feef9bb5461d6df077c42596f8c3fde478daa2c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Saurabh Singh (SQL Drivers)" Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 06:22:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 06/18] Refactor connection string handling by consolidating reserved parameters and improving exception management --- mssql_python/__init__.py | 2 +- mssql_python/connection.py | 4 ++-- mssql_python/connection_string_allowlist.py | 11 +++++++++- mssql_python/connection_string_parser.py | 21 ++++++------------ mssql_python/exceptions.py | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++- 5 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/mssql_python/__init__.py b/mssql_python/__init__.py index 27ebaaa8..0fd68068 100644 --- a/mssql_python/__init__.py +++ b/mssql_python/__init__.py @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ ) # Connection string parser exceptions -from .connection_string_parser import ConnectionStringParseError +from .exceptions import ConnectionStringParseError # Type Objects from .type import ( diff --git a/mssql_python/connection.py b/mssql_python/connection.py index 062898cb..12836e90 100644 --- a/mssql_python/connection.py +++ b/mssql_python/connection.py @@ -258,7 +258,7 @@ def _construct_connection_string( Returns: str: The constructed and filtered connection string.

The new design implements a comprehensive parser that uses **lenient ODBC-style parsing** to extract parameters and validates **all** connection string parameters against an allow-list before passing them to ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server. - -**Key Design Philosophy**: The parser follows **ODBC driver behavior** - it parses valid key=value pairs and **silently ignores** malformed entries (with warning logs), rather than raising exceptions. This matches the behavior of all Microsoft SQL Server drivers (ODBC, .NET, JDBC) and ensures maximum compatibility. - -This allow-list approach is necessary for three key reasons: - -1. **ODBC Feature Compatibility**: Some ODBC connection string parameters require additional configurations (e.g., Always Encrypted extensibility modules) for which Python doesn't have a first-class experience yet. Allowing these parameters without proper support would create confusion and support burden. - -2. **Future Driver Evolution**: The driver may evolve its underlying implementation over time. While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features may remain available as the driver evolves. By deliberately allow-listing parameters now, we can ensure a smoother evolution path and avoid the breaking change of removing previously exposed parameters later. It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them. - -3. **Simplified Connection Experience**: ODBC connection strings have accumulated many parameter synonyms over decades of backward compatibility (e.g., "server", "address", "addr", "network address" all mean the same thing). A modern Python driver should provide a cleaner, simplified API by exposing only a curated set of parameters with clear, consistent naming. - ---- - -## Table of Contents - -1.

[Future Enhancements](#future-enhancements) - ---- - -## Problem Statement - -### Current Issues - -1. **Inconsistent Filtering**: The driver currently: - - Filters **kwargs** through an allow-list (only 6 parameters: Server, Uid, Pwd, Database, Encrypt, TrustServerCertificate) - - Passes the base `connection_str` parameter **directly** to ODBC without validation - -2. **ODBC Feature Compatibility**: Some ODBC connection string parameters require additional infrastructure: - - Always Encrypted with extensibility modules requires custom key store providers - - Column Encryption Key caching requires additional Python bindings - - These features don't have first-class Python API support yet - - Allowing these parameters creates user confusion and support issues - -3. **Future Driver Evolution**: The driver may evolve its underlying implementation: - - While ODBC parity is a goal, not all ODBC features may remain available as the driver evolves - - Some ODBC-specific parameters may not translate to future implementations - - Being deliberate about which parameters to expose avoids future breaking changes - - It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them - - Gating parameters now prevents users from building dependencies on features that may not be available - -4. **Parameter Synonym Bloat**: ODBC connection strings have accumulated many synonyms: - - "Server", "Address", "Addr", "Network Address" all mean the same thing - - "Uid", "User", "User ID" all mean the same thing - - This creates confusion and inconsistent usage patterns - - A modern Python driver should have a clean, minimal API surface - -5. **No Parsing Logic**: The current implementation uses simple string splitting on `;` which doesn't handle: - - Escaped characters (e.g., `{}` in values) - - Quoted values - - Empty values - - Malformed connection strings - -6. **Parser Behavior Mismatch**: The original strict parser design would raise exceptions for malformed connection strings, but **ODBC drivers use lenient parsing** - they silently ignore malformed entries and continue parsing valid ones. This mismatch could break user code that works with other Microsoft SQL Server drivers. - - **Citations**: - - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, lines 28-30: `connection_attributes = connection_str.split(";")` - splits on semicolon without handling braced values. Passwords could have the special characters which are considered delimiters in connection strings. - - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, line 33: `if attribute.lower().split("=")[0] == "driver":` - splits on `=` without handling escaped or braced values - - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, lines 66-67: `for param in parameters:` / `if param.lower().startswith("app="):` - simple string operations, no ODBC-compliant parsing - - `mssql_python/helpers.py`, line 69: `key, _ = param.split("=", 1)` - splits on first `=` only, doesn't handle braces or escaping - - **ODBC Driver Investigation**: Research into the ODBC driver codebase (`/Sql/Ntdbms/sqlncli/odbc/sqlcconn.cpp`) confirms that ODBC uses lenient parsing - malformed entries without `=` are silently ignored with `hr = S_FALSE; goto RetExit`, and parsing continues for subsequent parameters. - -### Design Motivations - -1. **Controlled Feature Set**: By implementing an allow-list, we can: - - Only expose ODBC features that have proper Python API support - - Prevent users from attempting to use unsupported features - - Reduce the support burden by rejecting parameters we can't properly handle - -2. **Migration Path**: The allow-list provides: - - A stable API surface that will work across current and future driver implementations - - Clear documentation of what parameters are supported - - A deliberate, controlled approach to exposing parameters (easier to add than remove) - - Protection against breaking changes when evolving the driver - - Ability to achieve ODBC parity incrementally while maintaining backward compatibility - -3. **Simplified API**: By normalizing synonyms and exposing only canonical parameter names: - - Users have a consistent, predictable API - - Documentation is clearer - - Code examples are more uniform - - New Python developers aren't confused by legacy ODBC conventions - -4. **ODBC-Compatible Behavior**: By using lenient parsing that matches ODBC driver behavior: - - User code that works with ODBC/other Microsoft drivers continues to work - - Malformed connection string entries are handled gracefully (logged but not fatal) - - Maximum compatibility with existing connection string patterns - - Debugging is easier with warning logs for problematic entries - -### Requirements - -1. Parse the complete connection string (base + kwargs) using **lenient ODBC-style parsing** -2. Validate all parameters against an allow-list -3. Reconstruct a clean connection string with only allowed parameters -4. Maintain backward compatibility with existing code -5. Ensure high performance (sub-millisecond overhead) -6. Handle ODBC connection string syntax correctly -7. Normalize parameter synonyms to canonical names -8. Prepare for future driver enhancements -9. **Match ODBC driver behavior**: Silently ignore malformed entries with warning logs, never raise exceptions for syntax errors during parsing -10. **Provide diagnostic logging**: Log warnings for ignored/malformed entries to help users debug connection string issues - ---- - -## Current Implementation Analysis - -### Code Flow (Before This Design) - -``` -User Input: - ├─ connection_str: "Server=localhost;Database=mydb;SomeParam=value" - └─ kwargs: {encrypt: "yes", server: "override"} - -Current Flow: - 1. add_driver_name_to_app_parameter(connection_str) - ├─ Finds any "APP=" parameter (case-insensitive) - ├─ Overwrites value to "MSSQL-Python" (preserves key casing) - └─ Adds "APP=MSSQL-Python" if not present - - 2. add_driver_to_connection_str(connection_str) - ├─ Strips any existing "Driver=" params (always removed) - ├─ Adds "Driver={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server}" at position 0 - └─ Returns: "Driver={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=mydb;SomeParam=value;APP=MSSQL-Python" - - 3. _construct_connection_string(connection_str, **kwargs) - ├─ Takes output from step 2 - ├─ Appends only ALLOW-LISTED kwargs: - │ ├─ server → "Server" - │ ├─ user/uid → "Uid" - │ ├─ password/pwd → "Pwd" - │ ├─ database → "Database" - │ ├─ encrypt → "Encrypt" - │ └─ trust_server_certificate → "TrustServerCertificate" - ├─ **else: continue** (filters out other kwargs) - └─ Returns: "Driver={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=mydb;SomeParam=value;APP=MSSQL-Python;Encrypt=yes" - - 4. ddbc_bindings.Connection(connection_str, ...) - └─ Passes final string to ODBC (including "SomeParam=value" - UNFILTERED!) -``` - -### Key Observations - -**1. Deliberate Driver and APP Control** (by design): - -The driver **intentionally** controls these two parameters to ensure consistent behavior: - -- **Driver Parameter** (`helpers.py:38-49`): Any user-provided `Driver=` value is **stripped and replaced** with `{ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server}`. This ensures the Python driver always uses the correct ODBC driver version. - -- **APP Parameter** (`helpers.py:99-109`): Any user-provided `APP=` value is **overwritten** to `MSSQL-Python`. This ensures proper application identification in SQL Server logs and monitoring tools, making it easy to identify connections from this Python driver. - -These are **intentional design choices** that will be preserved in the new allow-list implementation. - -**2. The base `connection_str` parameter bypasses all other filtering** (the problem): - -Only kwargs go through the allow-list check for non-Driver/APP parameters. This means: - -1. Users can pass unsupported ODBC parameters that the Python driver can't properly handle -2. Parameters that require additional infrastructure (like Always Encrypted extensibility) get passed to ODBC without validation -3. Parameters that may not be supported in future driver versions can create forward compatibility issues -4. Multiple synonyms for the same parameter create API inconsistency - -**3. The parsing is inadequate for ODBC connection strings**: - -The current parsing in `add_driver_to_connection_str()` (helpers.py:28-30) uses simple `split(";")`: - -```python -# Current implementation (helpers.py) -connection_attributes = connection_str.split(";") -for attribute in connection_attributes: - if attribute.lower().split("=")[0] == "driver": - continue -``` - -**This breaks with valid ODBC connection strings like**: -- `Server={local;host};Database=mydb` → incorrectly splits into 3 parts instead of 2 -- `PWD={p}}w{{d}` → doesn't unescape `}}` to `}` and `{{` to `{` -- `Server=localhost;` → creates empty string element -- `Server=localhost` (no semicolon) → handled, but inconsistent with trailing semicolon case -

---- - -## Connection String Parser Design - -### ODBC Connection String Syntax - -Based on the official [ODBC Connection String specification (MS-ODBCSTR)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/sql_server_protocols/ms-odbcstr/55953f0e-2d30-4ad4-8e56-b4207e491409), specifically section 2.1.2 "ODBC Connection String Format": - -**Official ABNF Grammar:** - -```abnf -ODBCConnectionString = *(KeyValuePair SC) KeyValuePair [SC] -KeyValuePair = (Key EQ Value / SpaceStr) -Key = SpaceStr KeyName -KeyName = (nonSP-SC-EQ *nonEQ) -Value = (SpaceStr ValueFormat1 SpaceStr) / (ValueContent2) -ValueFormat1 = LCB ValueContent1 RCB -ValueContent1 = *(nonRCB / ESCAPEDRCB) -ValueContent2 = SpaceStr / SpaceStr (nonSP-LCB-SC) *nonSC -

-; Where: -SC = ";" ; semicolon -EQ = "=" ; equals -LCB = "{" ; left curly brace -RCB = "}" ; right curly brace -ESCAPEDRCB = "}}" ; escaped right curly brace -SpaceStr = *SP ; zero or more spaces -``` - -**Simplified Explanation:** - -- **Connection string** = Zero or more key-value pairs separated by semicolons, with optional trailing semicolon -- **Key-value pair** = `Key=Value` or just whitespace -- **Key** = Optional leading spaces + key name (non-space, non-semicolon, non-equals characters) -- **Value** can be in two formats: - - **Format 1 (Braced)**: `{content}` where `}` inside is escaped as `}}` - - **Format 2 (Unbraced)**: Characters that don't contain unescaped semicolons or braces -- **Escaping**: Only `}` needs escaping inside braced values, done by doubling: `}}` → `}` - -**Key Points:** -- Parameters separated by `;` -- Format: `KEY=VALUE` -- Values containing `;` or `{` must be wrapped in braces: `{value}` -- Right braces `}` in braced values are escaped by doubling: `}}` → `}` -- Left braces `{` in braced values are escaped by doubling: `{{` → `{` -- Trailing semicolons are allowed -- Whitespace around keys and values follows specific rules (see SpaceStr in grammar) - -### Parser Implementation - -**Lenient Parsing Philosophy** - -The parser implementation follows **ODBC driver behavior** - it uses **lenient parsing** that: -- **Never raises exceptions** for malformed connection string syntax -- **Silently ignores** malformed entries (entries without `=`, empty keys, unclosed braces) -- **Logs warnings** for ignored entries to provide diagnostics -- **Returns partial results** - successfully parsed key-value pairs even when some entries are malformed - -This matches the behavior observed in Microsoft's ODBC driver (`sqlcconn.cpp` lines 4273-4285), which returns `S_FALSE` and continues parsing when encountering malformed entries. -

-### Allowed Parameters - -The allow-list is designed to include only parameters that: - -1. **Have Python API Support**: Parameters that the driver can properly handle and configure -2. **Are Runtime-Agnostic**: Parameters that will work with current and future driver implementations (or can be mapped appropriately) -3. **Are Essential for Connectivity**: Core parameters needed for database connections -4. **Have Clear Semantics**: Parameters with well-defined behavior and no ambiguity - -**Philosophy**: We take a deliberate, allow-list approach to exposing parameters because: -- It's easier to add parameters over time than to remove them once users depend on them -- This enables us to achieve ODBC parity incrementally while maintaining backward compatibility -- We can carefully evaluate each parameter's necessity and ensure proper Python API support before exposing it -- Users won't build dependencies on features that may not be available in future driver versions - -**Special Parameters** (handled outside the allow-list): -- **Driver**: Always hardcoded to `{ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server}`. User-provided values are stripped and replaced to ensure driver consistency. -- **APP**: Always set to `MSSQL-Python`. User-provided values are overwritten to ensure proper application identification in SQL Server logs and monitoring. - -These special parameters maintain the existing behavior and ensure consistent driver operation. - -**Excluded Parameters** include: -- Always Encrypted extensibility parameters (no Python key store provider API yet) -- Advanced ODBC-specific features without Python bindings or TDS runtime equivalents -- Deprecated or legacy parameters -- Parameters with unclear behavior or side effects -- ODBC driver configuration parameters that don't translate to TDS runtime -

-| Consideration | Implementation | -|---------------|----------------| -| **Password Handling** | Use `sanitize_connection_string()` before logging | -| **Credential Leakage** | Special handling for password parameters in logs | -| **Information Disclosure** | Sanitize connection strings in debug output | -| **Error Messages** | Don't include sensitive data in exception messages | - -### Logging Best Practices - -1. **Password Sanitization** - - Never log actual password values - - Use `sanitize_connection_string()` before logging connection strings - - Replace password values with `***` in debug output - -2. **Parameter Filtering** - - Log warnings for rejected parameters (after sanitization) - - Provide clear feedback about which parameters were filtered - -3. **Error Messages** - - Don't include connection string values in exception messages - - Use generic error messages for connection failures - ---- - -## Future Enhancements - -### Phase 2 Enhancements - -1. **Extended Parameter Support** - - Use the parsed key-value parameters from the connection string parser to support additional connection options - - Map allow-listed parameters to their appropriate configurations - - The same parser output will be used for current and future implementations, ensuring consistent behavior - ---- - -## Appendices -

"Incomplete specification: keyword 'badentry' has no value" -# - "Duplicate keyword 'server' found" -# - "Incomplete specification: keyword 'database' has no value" -``` - -## Code Changes - -### Files Modified - -1. **mssql_python/connection_string_parser.py** - - Added `ConnectionStringParseError` exception class - - Modified `_parse()` to collect and raise errors instead of logging warnings - - Added `allowlist` parameter to `__init__()` for keyword validation - - Removed lenient error handling (no more silent ignoring) - - Simplified code by removing logging infrastructure - -2. **mssql_python/connection.py** - - Updated `_construct_connection_string()` to pass allowlist to parser - - Parser now validates keywords during parsing instead of after - -3. **tests/test_010_connection_string_parser.py** - - Added `TestConnectionStringParserErrors` class with 12 new error tests - - Added `TestConnectionStringParserEdgeCases` class with 4 edge case tests - - Updated existing tests to use error-based behavior - - Total: 36 tests (21 basic + 12 error + 4 edge cases) - -4. **tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py** - - Updated tests to expect errors instead of lenient parsing - - Added tests for error batching behavior - - Added tests for parser with/without allowlist - - Total: 15 integration tests - -## Test Coverage - -All tests pass (74 total): -- **test_010_connection_string_parser.py**: 36 tests -- **test_011_connection_string_allowlist.py**: 23 tests -- **test_012_connection_string_integration.py**: 15 tests - -## API Changes - -### New Exception - -```python -class ConnectionStringParseError(Exception): - """Exception raised when connection string parsing fails.""" - - def __init__(self, errors: List[str]): - self.errors = errors # List of all validation errors - # Creates message with all errors listed -``` - -### Updated Constructor - -```python -# Before: -parser = ConnectionStringParser() - -# After (optional allowlist): -allowlist = _ConnectionStringAllowList() -parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) # Validates keywords -# OR -parser = ConnectionStringParser() # No keyword validation -``` - -## Backward Compatibility - -**Breaking Change**: Code that relies on lenient parsing will now raise exceptions. - -### Migration Guide - -```python -# Old code (lenient): -try: - parser = ConnectionStringParser() - params = parser._parse(connection_string) - # params might have ignored malformed entries -except: - # Never raised exceptions for malformed input - pass - -# New code (strict): -try: - allowlist = _ConnectionStringAllowList() - parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) - params = parser._parse(connection_string) - # params contains only valid, non-duplicate keywords -except ConnectionStringParseError as e: - # Handle validation errors - print("Connection string errors:") - for error in e.errors: - print(f" - {error}") -``` - -## Benefits - -1. **Better User Experience**: Users see all errors at once, can fix them together -2. **Fail Fast**: Invalid configurations caught immediately instead of runtime failures -3. **Clearer Errors**: Specific error messages for each type of problem -4. **Type Safety**: Parser raises typed exceptions instead of returning partial data - -## Examples - -### Valid Connection String -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -result = parser._parse("Server=localhost;Database=mydb;UID=user;PWD=pass") -# Returns {'server': 'localhost', 'database': 'mydb', 'uid': 'user', 'pwd': 'pass'} -``` - -### Duplicate Keywords -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser._parse("Server=first;Server=second") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Duplicate keyword 'server' found -``` - -### Unknown Keywords (with allowlist) -```python -allowlist = _ConnectionStringAllowList() -parser = ConnectionStringParser(allowlist=allowlist) -parser._parse("Server=localhost;InvalidParam=value") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Unknown keyword 'invalidparam' is not recognized -``` - -### Incomplete Specification -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser._parse("Server;Database=mydb") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError: Incomplete specification: keyword 'server' has no value -``` - -### Multiple Errors -```python -parser = ConnectionStringParser() -parser._parse("Server=a;NoValue;Server=b") -# ✗ ConnectionStringParseError with 2 errors: -# - "Incomplete specification: keyword 'novalue' has no value" -# - "Duplicate keyword 'server' found" -``` From 9a201957b500e5e6d5e4833936095fa5aee10599 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saurabh Singh <1623701+saurabh500@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 16:06:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 15/18] Update tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py b/tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py index fad412cc..853320f1 100644 --- a/tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py +++ b/tests/test_012_connection_string_integration.py @@ -593,7 +593,7 @@ def test_app_name_received_by_sql_server(self, conn_str): assert app_name_received == 'MSSQL-Python', \ f"Expected SQL Server to receive 'MSSQL-Python', but got '{app_name_received}'" -
