Version 31

     

    To evaluate those drivers, you can use a simple JSP page to query the pubs database shipped with MSSQL Server.

     

     

     

    Drop the attached WAR archive in /deploy, start the server and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/test/test.jsp

     

        DataSource ds = null;
        Connection con = null; 
        PreparedStatement pr = null; 
        String dsJNDI = "java:/MSSQL2005XADS"; 
    
        InitialContext ic; 
    
        try{ 
    
          out.println("Some jdbc operations using : " +dsJNDI);
          
          ic = new InitialContext(); 
           
          ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup( dsJNDI ); 
          con = ds.getConnection(); 
          pr = con.prepareStatement("SELECT fname FROM employee"); 
        
          ResultSet rs = pr.executeQuery();

    Using Microsoft JDBC Driver(s)

     

    The Microsoft JDBC driver for MS SQL Server comes now in two flavors:

     

    Make sure to read release.txt included in the distro to understand the differences between these 2 drivers, especially the new package name introduced with 2005 and the potential conflicts when using both drivers in the same app server.

    Using jTDS JDBC Driver(s)

     

    jTDS is an open source 100% pure Java (type 4) JDBC 3.0 driver for Microsoft SQL Server (6.5, 7, 2000 and 2005) and Sybase (10, 11, 12, 15). jTDS is based on FreeTDS and is currently the fastest production-ready JDBC driver for SQL Server and Sybase. jTDS is 100% JDBC 3.0 compatible, supporting forward-only and scrollable/updateable ResultSets, concurrent (completely independent) Statements and implementing all the DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData  methods.

    I am getting the following exception during startup

     

       17:17:57,167 WARN  [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.mq.destination:name=testTopic,service=Topic
        org.jboss.mq.SpyJMSException: Error getting durable subscriptions for topic TOPIC.testTopic; - nested throwable: (java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'JMS_SUBSCRIPTIONS'.)

    You need to specify a SelectMethod in the connection url

     

    e.g

    <connection-url>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;SelectMethod=cursor;DatabaseName=jboss</connection-url>
