Hi,

first of all thanks for the free driver. We are using here quit an old
version of MS SQL (4...). I have compiled the driver under 1.2 by putting
in an SQLException for the not implemented methods (of JDBC 2.0). 
By doing this it
compiled nicely with 1.2. Because I have this old version of database I
had to remove the statements for switching auto-commit of. After doing this 
at least calling of stored procedures worked (actually it worked better as
on a commercial product (weblogic) - with that driver we had some funny 
truncation problems). 
I have not managed to run ordinary prepared-statements yet.

I would like to spent some more time working on implementing the  
changes for old MS SQL versions.

- How can I get the version of the database to which I connect?
  
- We have almost no documentation for the old database (its a part
  of a trading system back office). How can I find a documentation for
  the old database to use the right commands (and not just leaving places
  blank).

Thanks for any help,

Malte Grunwald
