    So the understanding is once SQL Server 2022 Developer edition is installed, User can not upgrade it to cover any security vulnerability. All user can do is to install latest CU13.

    The Cumulative Updates includes various fixes, including addressing known security vulnerabilities.

    Furthermore, if a security issue is uncovered, Microsoft will also publish a GDR to address that issue. The GDR will be pushed out through Windows Update.

    Such a GDR was published for CU12. This fix is included in CU13, and no GDR has been published for CU13.

    When it comes to OLE DB and ODBC, you can find the latest OLE DB driver here. Note that this page will give you MSOLEDBSQL19, which is a later version. Roll down the page to find the section about older releases. To use the newer version, you need to change the connection string.

    I'm too lazy too look up the ODBC driver for you, but the same principle applies here. The latest version is ODBC 18, but to use that driver, you need to change the connection string.

    Hi @Salil Singh ,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    What exact change is connection string is required here.

    To know more about the changes in the latest OLE DB 19 for SQL Server, you can check out this article.

    As Erland says,

    The Cumulative Updates includes various fixes, including addressing known security vulnerabilities.

    You can update the latest Cumulative Update for SQL Server if you are worrying about security.

    Will it be ok to uninstall these current drivers (as mentioned in #1 above) and install the latest versions.

    Hope this article can help you resolve the issue.
