+       This connection attribute controls the format of strings for datetime
+       types. When this is &false;, PDO_DBLIB will return a datetime type as a
+       string in the format that SQL Server returns it in (i.e.
+       <literal>"2017-10-27 10:22:44"</literal>). When &true;, PDO_DBLIB will
+       convert the datetime type into a string using a user-defined or locale
+       format, as specified in the FreeTDS <filename>locales.conf</filename>
+       file. By default, this attribute is &false;.
