Notes: This driver may cause problems with ADO connections in Unicode installations. This is because of the columns that have an NVARCHAR(MAX) data type, which were introduced in enaio® version 10.10. The data in these columns is not read from the respective tables correctly. This means that it is not possible to create queries containing these columns.

The SQL Server ODBC driver must be used for Unicode systems in enaio® version 10.10 and later. This is in the system by default after a Windows installation. We also recommend using the SQL Server ODBC driver for ANSI installations, as the MS ODBC Driver for SQL Server will be discontinued as of enaio® version 11.0.
