Add The Microsoft ODBC Driver to Base Installs

Good News! Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server, Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server, Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, and Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server have been added to the catalog as of today - https://patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-catalog-update-04-18-23

There were two CVEs published in April 2023 that would be easier to remediate should this be added to the PMPC Catalog. CVE-2023-23375 and CVE-2023-28304. Versions 17 and 18 are both in support receiving updates.

There is also a duplicate request: I-2788, if that helps with the upvotes.

Please consider. Thank you.

Totally agree, this one is just as important for many applications.

Would be useful to have version 18, 17 which are both getting frequent updates.

I was surprised that this had not been added yet.

Here is the Microsoft page for it:

To fill in some info here:

Microsoft download landing page for the ODBC 17 Driver: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56567

Direct download link. However, it is dynamic: https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/6/B/E6BFDC7A-5BCD-4C51-9912-635646DA801E/en-US/17.5.2.1/x64/msodbcsql.msi

MSI file is always named 'msodbcsql.msi ', regardless of whether it's the 32- or 64-bit version. The only way I've been able to tell is that the 64-bit version is double the file size.

The install command line I personally use for the install are:

msiexec /quiet /passive /i "msodbcsql.msi" IACCEPTMSODBCSQLLICENSETERMS=YES /norestart ADDLOCAL=ALL
