 # Planned connector deprecations for Azure Data Factory
 
 This article describes future deprecations for some connectors of Azure Data Factory.
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> "Deprecated" means we intend to remove the connector from a future release. Unless they are in *Preview*, connectors remain fully supported until they are officially removed. This deprecation notification can span a few months or longer. After removal, the connector will no longer work. This notice is to allow you sufficient time to plan and update your code before the connector is removed.

 ## Legacy connectors with updated connectors or drivers available now
 
-The following legacy connectors are deprecated, but new updated versions are available in Azure Data Factory. You can update existing data sources to use the new connectors moving forward.

-## Use the generic ODBC connector to replace deprecated connectors
-
-If legacy connectors are deprecated with no updated connectors available, you can still use the generic [ODBC Connector](connector-odbc.md), which enables you to continue using these data sources with their native ODBC drivers. This can enable you to continue using them indefinitely into the future.
