ODBCConnection.CommandText (Excel)

Returns or sets the command string for the specified data source. Read/write Variant.

You should use the CommandText property instead of the SQL property, which now exists primarily for compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel. If you use both properties, the CommandText property's value takes precedence. The CommandType property describes the value of the CommandText property.
