FreeTDS Development Group

[Rajkumar Seth <Seth.Rajkumar AT GNI.co.uk>]

We use the FreeTDS JDBC driver in production, stock trading application. I
know of at least 2 major German Banks, 3 American Banks that use it in
production and other large companies in Europe.

We ran the driver in anger on test continuously for 4 months (24x) at a high
throughput, with regular network outages, and SQL Servers up and down. Both
Sybase 11.9.x and MS SQL 7x. The driver just ran and ran without incident.

The support and help on this newsgroup and from the community has been
faultless.

Seth.

Hi Rod,

The driver is incomplete; hardly a week passes when someone doesn't ask "why
does
foo() return ExceptionNotImplemented?"

I think if you tie into the cvs and have a look at the code, you'll find
stubs or
notice things you know are implemented by other drivers that are missing
from this
one.  My advice is to scratch whichever one looks to you like an itch.

Just make you have fun doing it, too.  :-)
