Driver=MySQL;Server=localhost;Database=nanodbc_tests;User=root;Password=;Option=3;


Sample Travis CI build job where this MySQL connection string is
successfully used:
https://travis-ci.org/lexicalunit/nanodbc/jobs/128260733

Sample job where PostgreSQL connection string with capitalised Driver=
is failing:
https://travis-ci.org/lexicalunit/nanodbc/jobs/128260734

and PostgreSQL job worked after changing to DRIVER=
https://travis-ci.org/lexicalunit/nanodbc/jobs/129121683
