Cause
This is not a driver issue.
 
Resolution
When running a query that is not a SELECT query then the best way to do this is to use the SQL Server EXEC function. 

If your linked server cannot use EXEC, you will get a message similar to:
      Server 'linked_server_name' is not configured for RPC.
In this case to use the EXEC function:
 - Right-click on your linked server and choose properties.
 - In the "Server Options" section, set "RPC Out" to "True".
You can then use the EXEC function.

For example using the above query:
exec('update catalog.schema.object_name set "XXXXX"=''YYYYY'' where "NAME" like ''ZZZZZZZ''') at linked_server_name

Note that column names are inside double quotes and data is inside escaped single quotes (two single quotes, one for the escape and one for the single quote).

For additional information refer to the Microsoft documentation.
