In which language is JDBC Driver written

Hello,

in which language is the microsoft sql jdbc driver written?

Ralph:

All type-4 drivers (like our Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC and our future SQL Server 2005 drive) must be implemented in pure Java, per JDBC spec.

That said, most JDBC drivers that access SQL server have some helper DLLs that are native Win32 code, esp a DLL to help manage XA/MSDTC on the server.

That sounds interresting:)|||

I have noticed that you are supplying x32 and x64 dll's for xa for the JDBC driver. When are you planning on supplying XA dll's for IA64 (Itanium)?

Please note that the x64 dll is for 64 bit Java VMs. These should work with AMD x64 and the new Intel x64 architecture.

Do you have specific Itanium requirements? if so can you point me to the 64 bit JVM that you are using?

Thanks

Angel,

>>if so can you point me to the 64 bit JVM that you are using

I recommend BEA's JRocket 1.4.2 and 5.0 when running either W2K3 EE or Datacenter on Itanium:

>>Do you have specific Itanium requirements?

DTC compatibility first, Integrated security would be a nice extra.

Your attention to this is appreciated,

North
