Helo Team,
Please let me know how to get the updated version for "Microsoft OLE DB Driver for Microsoft SQL"
Below are other SQL applications installed
Hi @Boopathi S
Do you have further question on this issue?
If any answer is helpful to your question, please accept it as an answer so that other users with similar questions can see it more easily. :)
Latest version is 19.3.5, you get it from
You can get them here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/release-notes-for-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15
Note that 19.3.5 that Olaf refers to is the MSOLEDBSQL19 provider, which is different from the one in your screenshot, which is known as MSOLEDBSQL, of which the most recent version is 18.7.4.
It is certainly not a bad idea to install MSOLEDBSQL19, but you need to change connection strings to use it.

Thanks for your reply.
Please look at the below picture.
This has OLE DB driver for SQL server without version mentioned in RED. In that case that version 19.3.3.0 is fine.
Kindly update me
I'm not sure what you are trying to say in your comment. But 19.3.3 and 18.7.4 are not interchangeable.
When you connect with OLE DB, you need to specify the provider name in the connection string, and 18.x.x and 19.x.x have different names. That is, an application saying Provider=MSOLEDBSQL, will always use 18.x.x, never 19.x.x. To get 19.x.x, you need to say MSOLEDBSQL19.
Also, very important: There are breaking changes with MSOLEDBSQL19. The latter defaults to require an encrypting connection, and the older does not. (This is a change that Microsoft has implemented in all their APIs., not only OLE DB.)
