Description
It would be very useful if there was a way to pass in an ADO.NET-style connection string instead of separate server/user/pw/etc params.
This is already supported by go-mssqldb, so I'm hoping that the amount of work required to add this feature wouldn't be excessive :)
If this sounds like a good idea, and we can get agreement on how the UX should look (a new flag --connection-string/-S perhaps), then I can probably work on creating a PR for this feature :)
Thanks,
Eric

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing CLI parameters for server, user, password, and related connection settings, then compare them with the ADO.NET connection-string support in go-mssqldb. Resolve the proposed user experience, including whether to add --connection-string or -S, and define completion as accepting that string as an alternative to separate parameters.
