Remarks
The version is of the form ##.##.####, where the first two digits are the major version, the next two digits are the minor version, and the last four digits are the release version. The provider can append a description of the provider.
The Provider Version property is equivalent to the DBMS Version property if the DBMS supports OLE DB interfaces directly. It is different if the provider is separate from the DBMS, such as when the provider accesses the DBMS through ODBC.
