This, and a few other SqlSetProp()s must be done in advance, before you establish a connection, simply because they are the parameters which are established between your app (as a client) and the server when the connection is made.
Saved connection is not a real connection; it's a saved definition which will be applied when that definition is used to make a real connection. The description of the connection stored in a dbc is not making this distinction, but you can guess that it's different - it stays in the dbc, unchanged, before, during and after the actual connection to a server.
