msodbcsql11.dll version - does it matter?

[former_member197700]

In the dev_w0 work process trace file on one system, it says:

Driver: msodbcsql11.dll Driver release: 11.00.2270

GetDbRelease: 12.00.4427.24

GetDbRelease: Got DB release numbers (12,0,4427,24)

On another system, it says:

Driver: msodbcsql11.dll Driver release: 12.00.2000

GetDbRelease: 12.00.4427.24

GetDbRelease: Got DB release numbers (12,0,4427,24)

Is that driver used in day to day processing of SAP?  How urgent is it that the driver and database levels be in sync?  Can it wait a few months?

Hi Clifton,

You should always run the ODBC driver at the same level of your SQL Server instance.

You can download the updated client for SQL Server 2014 here:

Hi Clifton.

1. Is this both system OS /DB & secure updates are same?

2. You can refer the Microsoft link about the ODBC driver dll
