I'm using the new OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL) but am not using nor have the ODBC SQL Server driver. I need to use the bcp utility which is included in the "Microsoft® Command Line Utilities 14.0 for SQL Server" download. This however requires the ODBC SQL Server driver.
How may the bcp utility be installed without having to install the ODBC SQL Server driver?
The current BCP utility uses ODBC so you need to have the requisite ODBC driver installed. Microsoft chose to use ODBC newer BCP versions presumably because ODBC is a better fit for cross-platform applications. OLE DB (MSOLEDBSQL driver) is a Windows technology.
MSOLEDBSQL is generally recommended when one uses OLE DB for SQL Server access because it's the newest OLE DB driver technology.
