RE: [JBoss-user] MS SQL7 JDBC-ODBC parameters
The free JDBC-ODBC driver is evil. Sun's free JDBC-ODBC driver [written by/with Merant if memory serves] isn't a great driver. It has poor performance and other issues with threading for instance. www.merant.com and www.EasySoft.com both offer substantially better JDBC-ODBC drivers. They are very good indeed. They are Type 3 drivers since they can't be 100% Java unless someone decided to re-write ODBC in Java (a *very* pointless task IMO). One benefit of ODBC is that the ODBC layer can handle connection pooling /transaction enlistment transparently using native Windows services. If you *prefer* an ODBC-JDBC solution, this is the way to go. If not, then a Type 4 driver is the way forward. The only time I would recommend Sun's JDBC-ODBC driver if for basic development or while you are awaiting delivery of your new driver ;-) As for free MS SQL Drivers, the only one I am aware of is FreeTDS and is listed in Kunle's HowTo. I wouldn't rely on Sybase drivers, the protocols began to diverge quite a while ago and certainly for SQL7 and SQL2000, a Sybase product would not be ideal.

Re: [JBoss-user] MS SQL7 JDBC-ODBC parameters
ODBC is evil. There is more than one free pure Java JDBC driver for TDS (the M$ and Sybase protocol).
