Other than the readme describing the use of connection_string, issue #28853 indicates that it should be supported

Hello @Toudahl, thanks for filing! This functionality was introduced last week, but the latest release was v0.88.0 which was 3 weeks ago. This simply means the feature hasn't been included in a release yet.

Please test again once v0.89.0 has been released, feel free to file an issue if it's still not working then!

Apologies - I did not pay attention to the timeline.
Thanks for getting back to me.

No worries! I've run into this myself and been confused multiple times 👍
