I know that I can establish an ODBC connection in .NET C# by installing the ODBC driver on my server. Using the System.Data.Odbc library, I can connect to the database without any issues.
However, my question is: Is there a way to connect to ODBC without installing the driver on the server?
For example, could this be achieved by configuring a specific library, adding connection settings to appsettings.json, or using an alternative approach?
I'm looking for any possible solutions that would allow me to avoid the need for a manually installed driver. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
