What is the difference between Trusted_Connection and Integrated Security in a connection string?
I'm curious what the difference between the token "Trusted_Connection" and "Integrated Security" in SQL Server connection strings (I believe other databases/drivers don't support these). I understand that they are equivilent. They are synonyms for each other and can be used interchangeably. In .Net, there is a class called SqlConnectionStringBuilder that is very useful for dealing with SQL Server connection strings using type-safe properties to build up parts of the string. This class keeps an internal list of synonyms so it can map from one value to another: +----------------------+----------
