Microsoft reversed its previous decision, and un-deprecated OLE DB technology on 3/31/2018, with the release of MSOLEDBSQL Driver version 18. Microsoft calls this release the third generation of OLE DB technology.
Accordingly, Information Builders removed obsolescent status from its OLE DB adapter, and introduced support of new MSOLEDBSQL Driver 18.
Customers may now choose between MS SQL Server OLE DB or ODBC adapters, depending on required features.
Note that first (SQLOLEDB) and second (SQLNCLI/SNAC) generations of Microsoft OLE DB Providers remain deprecated.
