Hi,
My understanding was the FireDAC was very up to date and had very good support for a wide range of databases, as well as a good range of features. We use ADO still so I don’t know for sure but it sounds odd. Are you sure what you are testing is FireDAC? Cheers, David.

IT only supports Native Client 10.0. This means some features on later versions of SQL server are still supported, but who knows which ones ? I don’t want to find out the hard way which features are not supported. I am disappointed that E over promises and under delivers.

In my reply the other day I forgot to say that I also use FireDAC to talk directly to an Azure SQL Instance (Which is very close to Microsoft SQL Server 2016). It was exceedingly simple to do the connection. Set the DriverID=MSSQL then the server, database, username and password and it worked perfectly. I then use either dataset components, or run direct queries, on the DB. This was straight out of the box DX using a TFDConnection
