    Hi @Suresh Balasubramanian> Is there any specific or formal statements regarding Microsoft long-term plans on Support Plans:

    Currently, 32-bit ODBC is still supported.

    As for the long-term plans, no one can tell that. It is suggested that you can stay tuned to the official announcement.

    Since you are planning migrate, then it is better to migrating your application to 64-bit. Consider languages like VB.NET, C# that fully support 64-bit architecture.
