Description:
The documentation about the option "interactive" is unclear how to turn it on.  

Documentation URL:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-odbc/en/connector-odbc-configuration-
connection-parameters.html

Current language: 
"Enables the CLIENT_INTERACTIVE connection option of mysql_real_connect."

How to repeat:
Add "interactive" to connection string, and nothing happens.

Add "interactive=1" to connection string, and now it is interactive mode.

Suggested fix:
It would be more clear and consistent to emulate "sslverify" or "prefetch" by starting "When set to any nonzero value..."

The description for the option has been modified to read: 

"If set to 1, the CLIENT_INTERACTIVE connection option of mysql_real_connect is enabled."

Thanks for the suggestion!
