Section 4: SQL Server Version


Does jConnect for JDBC work with Microsoft SQL Server?


No, jConnect doesn't support pre-5.0 TDS (the protocol between client
and server). Microsoft SQL Server is based on TDS 4.2, therefore,
jConnect does not work with MS SQL Server currently. We may provide
MS support in the future. But no date is set or committed at this
point.


In the meantime, you can connect to MS SQL Server via Sybase
OmniCONNECT Gateway. OmniCONNECT is a high performance gateway
allowing transparent data access to 25+ non-Sybase databases
including MS SQL, Oracle, Informix, and DB2, etc.

Please respond to "TDS

Hello,
I think it will not work with MS-SQL-Server, or does it ?

Hi,

I believe that jConnect is free for development but not deployment (cost
about $1500 per server last time I checked). My knowledge is a little
dated, so things may have changed since then. Besides, having the code
has its own merits, not being forced into buying support contracts if you
have the inhouse expertise for instance.
