Hello,
what is the "best" method to query a MS SQL Server with Excel and ADO?
These are the options:
1) SQL native Client (ODBC)
2) SQL Server (ODBC)
3) Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
4) .Net Providers (but I could not find a free one)
I have been using 3), however, I get a timeout after 30 sec with complicated
queries and I cannot find the reason for this. (I tested and did not get
timeouts with 2). There are no timeouts set to 30 on the SQL-Server, the
connection string etc.
