The SQL Server Native Client (often abbreviated SNAC) has been removed from SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and SQL Server Management Studio 19 (SSMS). The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB providers (SQLNCLI or SQLNCLI11) are not recommended for new development. Switch to the new Microsoft OLE DB Driver (MSOLEDBSQL) for SQL Server going forward. For more information about the SNAC lifecycle and available downloads, see SNAC lifecycle explained.
The SQL Server Native Client (often abbreviated SNAC) has been removed from SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and SQL Server Management Studio 19 (SSMS). Both the SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider (SQLNCLI or SQLNCLI11) and the legacy Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) are not recommended for new development.

If you are connecting to a data source provider that supports Windows authentication, you should specify Trusted_Connection=yes or Integrated Security = SSPI instead of user ID and password information in the connection string.
The provider supports several provider-specific connection parameters in addition to those defined by ADO. As with the ADO connection properties, these provider-specific properties can be set via the Properties collection of a Connection or can be set as part of the ConnectionString.
The OLE DB Provider for SQL Server in MDAC 2.7, MDAC 2.8, and Windows DAC 6.0 has a dynamic property called Allow Native Variants which, as the name implies, allows developers to access the sql_variant in its native form as opposed to a DBTYPE_VARIANT. If this property is set, and a Recordset is opened with the Client Cursor Engine (adUseClient), the Recordset.Open call will fail. If this property is set and a Recordset is opened with server cursors (adUseServer), the Recordset.Open call will succeed, but accessing columns of type sql_variant will produce an error.
