Currently when a user connects to a VDB of particular version they use the format

jdbc:teiid:<vdb>@mm://host:port;version=?;user=..

additionally support

jdbc:teiid:<vdb.version>@mm://host:port;user=..

in which case both the above URL are same.

This format is required by the ODBC client. As in ODBC the "Connection Settings" are called after the connection is made. The version information is required at the time of the connection.
