I have a SQL Server 2019 installed on my local and I am trying to reverse engineer one of the databases to work with the database model in Visio Plan 2. However, even after having the ODBC and OLE DB drivers on the machine, I am not able to use them appropriately. With ODBC driver, the field data types are wrongly imported to either image or text. And, the OLE DB driver is not visible to be displayed in the settings.

    Hi @DhruvRaj,
    As far as I know, a vendor-supplied 32-bit ODBC driver must be from an ODBC Data Access Pack greater than version 2.0 and ODBC Level 1-compliant or greater. A vendor-supplied OLE DB provider must be compliant with the OLE DB version 1.0 or later specification.
