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
Here is a doc page on SQL Server: http://www.jboss.org/documentation/mssql.htm Plus you need to add a jaws.xml file that is similar to this: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? jaws datasourcejava:/SQLServerPool/datasource type-mappingMS SQLSERVER/type-mapping default-entity remove-tablefalse/remove-table /default-entity type-mappings type-mapping nameMS SQLSERVER/name !-- INSERT MAPPINGS FROM standardjaws.xml HERE -- /type-mapping /type-mappings /jaws --- Brenton House Java Software Engineer Pixel Magic Imaging, Inc. - Original Message - From: "Steve Shier" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 4:05 AM Subject: [JBoss-user] MS SQL7 JDBC-ODBC parameters I want to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge to a Microsoft SQL 7.0 database and would like to know the configuration parameters.
