>>>There is no such thing as SQL Server, or more correct, there are very many SQL Server!!! You must also name the manufacturer!!! In this case you clearly mean Microsoft SQL Server, also called MS SQL Server. Please use that name in the future, to avoid confusion.

>>On the contrary, there is only one SQL server. There are many other database servers. Most of them allow commands in a SQL 92 compliant language, but none are called „SQL server“. Check the list at https://database.guide/list-of-relational-database-management-systems-rdbms/, and while many of them may contain the SQL acronym, only few of them contain „SQL server“ in description (when related to it) and only one, the one with the prefix, in the name. So the prefix is superfluous.

My version of the ODBC is probably old because the computer is old (it is made in 2013). And I never updated the ODBC driver. But I find it good to test the application with the old ODBC driver because one never knows what customers are using. Some may even still use XP :)
