Getting Table Info
I am new to this newsgroup so I may not be sending this article properly.
Please guide me if needed.
1. I am using freetds_jdbc.jar containing class files dated 01/25/00, I
cannot determine the driver version. I need to find out if this is the
latest/proper version to use with MSSQL 6.5-7.0 ?
2. I found another version freetds_jdbc.snapshot.jar.2_0.zip which I have
not tried to use yet, it has 07/17/00 dates for the class files.What is this
driver, is it the correct version for me to use?
3.   When I am using freetds_jdbc.jar containing class files dated 01/25/00,
the driver works for most functions except for that it does not show tables
and other metadata. That means that I can use embeded sql in Powerj but I
cannot use Powerj's visual database wizards.
Can someone help me with this problem. I will appreciate it.
