| <a id="2312800">[2312800](#2312800)</a> | Fixes an issue where external data sources that use the generic ODBC connector may not work after you install SQL Server 2019 CU19 or later versions. You may encounter the following scenarios: </br></br>- When you try to query an external table that was created before you install this fix on a generic ODBC data source, and the `CONNECTION_OPTIONS` argument uses a `DSN` parameter without the `Driver` keyword, you receive the following error message: </br></br>Msg 7320, Level 16, State 110, Line \<LineNumber> </br>Cannot execute the query "Remote Query" against OLE DB provider "MSOLEDBSQL" for linked server "(null)". Object reference not set to an instance of an object. </br></br>- If you try to create a new external table, you receive the following error message: </br></br>Msg 110813, Level 16, State 1, Line \<LineNumber> </br>Object reference not set to an instance of an object. </br></br>**Note**: Before you apply this fix, you can uninstall SQL Server 2019 CU19 or later versions, or add the `Driver` keyword to the `CONNECTION_OPTIONS` argument as a workaround.
