Download Microsoft Odbc Driver 17 For Sql Server (x64)

A data source is a source of data combined with the connection information that is required to access that data. Examples of data sources are SQL Server, Oracle RDBMS, a spreadsheet, and a text file. Examples of connection information include server location, database name, logon ID, password, and various ODBC driver options that describe how to connect to the data source. This information can be obtained from the administrator of the database to which you want to connect.
File data sources (also called DSN files) store connection information in a text file, not the Windows registry, and are generally more flexible to use than machine data sources. For example you can copy a file data source to any computer that has the correct ODBC driver so that your application can rely on consistent and accurate connection information to all the computers it uses. Or you can place the file data source on a single server, share it between many computers on the network, and easily maintain the connection information in one location.
The version and the filename are identical in the 64-bit odbcad32 screen as well as the 32-bit odbcad32 screen from c:\windows\syswow64, so I do not believe it to be a 32 vs 64 bit issue at this time (particularly since the driver was installed by the SQL Server 2016 RC2 install).
It is true that linked servers are dependent on the OLEDB interface but the ODBC driver can be safely used between SQL Server servers. (There's a misconception in the wild that such a configuration is unsupported by Microsoft; that is a myth.)
After SQL Server 2012, the primary ODBC driver for SQL Server has been developed and released as the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. The Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server is the driver that is updated with the most recent server features going forward.
I spent the last hour trying to connect to a mssql server using sqlcmd through odbc driver.I was talking to the db guy but he doesn't seem to have a clue what is going on.. Maybe you can help me out to find some questions I could ask that guy..
When that didn't work, I tried installing the microsoft ODBC linux drivers. They installed and I'm able to connect to my server using the "sqlcmd" command that comes with the MS tools but I can't connect with either isql or add it as a remote server.
I have the native ODBC driver and I can connect from command line and python (pyodbc) without any issues, but from JMP I'm always getting a "not found" error regardless if I try to connect from JSL with open database() or from the query builder.
Thanks Bryan,
yes that's the reference, as you can see it is biased against unixodbc and not iodbc/ODBCmanager.
I've actually had this on hold for a while only using a python connection from JMP to do the query since everything works fine with pyodbc through python.
I've today for the first time managed to get iODBC to accept another driver and it works fine through JMP in a JSL script (even though the UI for the query builder is acting out and does not allow me to pick any schemas or tables to work against).
That got me hooked on trying to get my ms sql servers up and running in the same way, but i still can't make it happen.
iodbc just shows these kinds of errors when i click test (even if i make a DSN straight out of the documentation):
If i hit the same DSN from python and pyodbc it works without any errors... I am wondering if it can be something with the encoding but iodbc or jmp are not really giving me a lot to troubleshoot on.
iODBC is at least not understanding how the driver is working, that's my only conclusion so far.
I guess i need to try other drivers...
In case that the wrong version of the Microsoft ODBC drivers for SQL Server is trying to be installed (e.g. x86\msodbcsql.msi on the Windows 64-bit version), the following warning message will appear:
I am developing a web application that involves connecting PHP with SQL Server, in order to do so it was necessary to download and install the Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server for Windows; reading the license it mentions in the part of "Installation and use rights" that "You may install and use any number of copies of the software to develop and test your applications", I wonder if I wanted to market (not develop or test) my web application so that other users connect to my server, where I have Microsoft Driver 18 for SQL Server installed, through a web browser to make use of my application that needs the Microsoft Driver 18 for SQL Server to be able to work (not to download the driver but to use my web application), is it possible to do it with that driver that I have downloaded or should I buy some other driver or application that allows me to market my application? If so I would like to know why.
