    'dsn' => '', 
    'hostname' => 'localhost', 
    'username' => 'root', 
    'password' => '', 
    'database' => 'database_name',

    'dbprefix' => '', 
    'pconnect' => TRUE, 
    'db_debug' => TRUE, 
    'cache_on' => FALSE 
)

define('ENVIRONMENT','development'); This is a Codeigniter 3, database.php (non SSPI) snippet example for MSSQL 2008R2:

 define('ENVIRONMENT','development');                            
 $db['test1'] = array( 'dsn'    => '',
    'hostname' => 'MY_MSSQL_DB_FQDN\i1,10001',
    'username' => 'somemssqluser',
    'password' => 'somemssqlpassword',
    'database' => 'somedbname',
    'dbdriver' => 'sqlsrv',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => FALSE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
