Hi, Does the driver support TLS 1.1 and 1.2? We are currently getting an SQL Error Code 18, SSL Security error on a server with TLS 1.0 disabled. If it does support TLS 1.1, what version did this occur on. Thanks.

For connection to SQL Server, our dbExpress driver for SQL Server uses the OLEDB provider. The standard OLEDB provider has no support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, and SQL Native Client provider supports it. If SQL Native Client is used in a TSQLConnection, then see description of the used provider version at MSDN, about the possibility to use the TLS protocol version 1.1 and higher.

Thanks for the prompt reply. We are still using the 5.0.3.0 version in Delphi 6. Am I correct we only need to set SQLConnection.VendorLib := 'sqlncli11.dll' to make it use the native client? The DriverName will still be 'DevartSQLServer'.

dbExpress driver for SQL Server 5.0.3 does not support SQL Native Client 11 because this provider version was released later than the driver version. In the driver version 5.0.3 you can use SQL Native Client 10 - value 'sqlncli10.dll' for the VendorLib property.

To use SQL Native Client 11 (value 'sqlncli11.dll') for connection, please update dbExpress driver for SQL Server to the latest version 7.3.5
