+### Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is used instead of System.Data.SqlClient
+
+[Tracking Issue #15636](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore/issues/15636)
+
+**Old behavior**
+
+Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer previously depended on System.Data.SqlClient.
+
+**New behavior**
+
+We've updated our package to depend on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.
+
+**Why**
+
+Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is the flagship data access driver for SQL Server going forward, and System.Data.SqlClient no longer be the focus of development.
+Some important features, such as Always Encrypted, are only available on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.
+
+**Mitigations**
+
+If your code takes a direct dependency on System.Data.SqlClient, you must change it to reference Microsoft.Data.SqlClient instead; as the two packages maintain a very high degree
+of API compatibility, this should only be a simple package and namespace change.
