rename option --data-source-url to --data-source-string
In some implementations like JDBC, the connection string is URL,
but in ODBC the string is not formally URL, so it is better to use more general term „data source string“ instead of URL.
- data source name (DSN) = name of a pre-configured database connection that should be looked-up in configuration and used
- data source string (connection string) = arbitrary string containing (in certain encoding which might and might not be URL) all needed parameters (e.g. server name + port + user name + password)
Name and string might sometimes be also combined:
in ODBC we can e.g. connect to a string: DSN=relpipe;someParameter=foo;someOther=bar
which will lookup configuration for the „relpipe“ data source and will combine it with given parameters.
