The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client OLE DB provider (SQLNCLI) is a low-level COM API that is used for accessing data. The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client OLE DB provider is recommended for developing tools, utilities, or low-level components that need high performance. The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client OLE DB provider is a native, high performance provider that accesses the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol directly.
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client provides OLE DB support to applications connecting to [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].
The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client OLE DB provider is an OLE DB version 2.0-compliant provider.
Important
The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client OLE DB (SQLNCLI) remains deprecated and it is not recommended to use it for new development work. Instead, use the new Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL) which will be updated with the most recent server features.
