Hi, You will have to use JDBC, but here is the rub: --> Currently due to Microsoft's Licensing, etc. etc., there are NO JDBC 4 Drivers for free... ...all of them cost a fortune. --> There are other JDBC drivers for MS-SQL that are for free, but they do not provide you with full support and functionality that the level 4 JDBC drivers do. So you can either pay a firtune for the JDBC drivers and then still spend enromous amounts on CALs for your MS-SQL server, or look at other DBs (e.g MySQL, PostgressSQL, Interbase, or even Oracle), it all depends on exactly what you are going to be using the DB for. Hope this helps, and please note that this is what I found when I last searched for JDBC drivers for MS-SQL, so I may be wrong... ...;) Regards Q On Sat, 2002-10-12 at 05:09, Bill Parker wrote:
Hi All,
We have a application which communications via java to a .DBF file (using Java and Codebase for Linux). We are working on moving the database over to MS-SQL server (relational). What is the preferred method of communicating with a MS-SQL database using Java (JDBC, etc)? Can someone point me in the right direction?
