OLE DB does not support getting custom parameters from the user at this
time. This will probably be fixed in the near future (read - about a
month's time frame, no promises). At the moment, I am very much afraid
there is no way to achieve what you are trying to do.

The two most obviously missing features are port number and SSL support.
Sorry about that.
