ODBCVersionString Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ODBCVersionString property returns the major and minor version numbers of the installed Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver manager.

Syntax

object.ODBCVersionString

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read-only

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetODBCVersionString(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

The ODBC driver manager version is returned as a string in the form xx.yy.zzzz where xx is a zero-padded, two-digit major version number; yy is a zero-padded, two-digit minor version number; and zzzz is a zero-padded, four-digit release number.
