Hi Team,
I have query regarding SQL server driver.
Currently, We are using SQL Server driver Version - 6.00.6002.18005 with SQL server 2008 with SAP Business Object repository and reporting. I think SQL Server driver Version - 6.00.6002.18005 is default driver comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 OS appears under ODBC. Business Object is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and connecting to SQL server database using odbc connection of 32 bit.
Now, we are migrating database from SQL server 2008 to SQL server 2014.
I found new SQL server driver -"Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11" supported with 2014.
I check the driver at MS website and found that driver version is 12.0.4219.0.
I see both driver version are different. I want to clarify the below questions:
1. What are difference between both SQL server driver version?
2. What will be the issue if we won't upgrade our driver to new version?
3. We tested ODBC connection with current driver and that worked. However I want to know the advantage and impact if we not upgrade.
Please update on this.
Thanks
