             or (Windows) ODBC Data Source Administrator tool.

             Create such a struct with `turbodbc.make_options()` or leave this blank to take the defaults.
      :param connection_string: Preformatted ODBC connection string.
             Specifying this and dsn or kwargs at the same time raises ParameterError.

             the connection string that identifies the database. Valid options depend on the specific database you
             would like to connect with (e.g. `user` and `password`, or `uid` and `pwd`)
