Corrections
Lab manual 05 refers to a SQL Server Native Client. The SQL Server Native Client (often
abbreviated SNAC) has been removed from SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and SQL Server
Management Studio 19 (SSMS). The SQL Server Native Client (SQLNCLI or SQLNCLI11) and
the legacy Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) are not recommended for
new application development. Switch to the new Microsoft OLE DB Driver (MSOLEDBSQL)
for SQL Server or the latest Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server going forward.
