ODBC Driver Version(s)

How do I find out what the latest version number is for the SQL Server ODBC driver?

Is there a standard place to go to for SQL Server ODBC driver downloads?

I need to download older versions of the SQL Server ODBC drivers. Is that even possible?

Thanks in advance!

The ODBC drivers come with MDAC. To find the latest version, you could always check the manifest for the latest MDAC version. You can download older versions of MDAC and find the manifests from the MDAC downloads page:

In terms of the older drivers, generally it's not necessary to install older drivers. What's the particular reason you need an old version?

ODBC and XML

Hi all,
I'm writing an app to export my ODBC connection information to XML format.
There is already a standard File .DSN format, but was wondering if there's
already an XML DTD or XML Schema for DSN's out there. I definitely don't
want to reinvent the wheel, and if I'm able to export my info in a format
that would (presumably) be compatible with other applications in the future,
so much the better.
Thanks,
Michael C.I know that Microsoft has not defined anything in this area, and I
haven't heard of any other ISVs doing this.
