Hi @Sigurd Grønvigh - Tromek Produksjon
Thanks for the Question and using Microsoft Q&A Forum.
Yes, you can continue using the ODBC Driver for SQL Server even after the 2014-04-01 Azure SQL Database API is retired on October 31, 2025. The deprecation impacts only legacy management APIs and does not affect ODBC connectivity for database queries. However, if your application depends on the deprecated API, you will need to upgrade to newer versions.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries. If this answers your query, do click Accept Answer and Yes for was this answer helpful. And, if you have any further query do let us know.
