In need of JDBC driver (type 4) for MS SQL server 7/2000

[HenryMonster]

Hi All,

Is there a freeware or a shareware JDBC type 4
driver for MS SQL 7 or 2000 ?

What commercial products are available ?

The price range we are looking at is very low.
We found some offerings at the price of $1600+,
but this is not affordable for our low budget
project.

Thank you in advance !

Try Sprinta2000 at

http://www.inetsoftware.de/Default.htm.

It's 249.00 for 20 users. I've used it and it's faster than the 1800.00 JDBC driver we got from BEA.

Hi!

Sprinta is good, but you may try the Microsoft's own JDBC driver for SQL Server. It is freely downloadable from the MS homepage.

Go for Microsoft JDBC Driver. It is one of the better ones. They actually bought the rights to the driver from DataDirect Technologies a few months ago. Performance is very good and it is a fully complaint JDBC 2.0 Driver. The url is

The one drawback is Microsoft only supports it for SQL Server 2000, I haven't actually tested whether it works on SQL Server 7.0 or not.
