Will this version work with SQL Server 2008?

How long will take for new JDBC Drver to support SQL server 2008 latest data type

Does this not support resultSet.getSQLXML(1); ?

Any idea when we'll see that?  This is so important

Is there a release date set for the resultSet.getSQLXML() support?  Any suggestions on what to do while this is being developed?

Thanks,

Ken

Will it support "Bulk Copy"?

I was half way done porting the "Bulk Copy" using the current microsoft jdbc driver. Used the com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.tds package to do that.

and now when I look at your new classes, this package is gone, so I'll have to go back to JNI.

Java applications deserves a "Bulk Copy" implementation, where one can call bcpInit, bcpSendRow, bcpBatch, bcpDone. without using the stupid file logic or JNI.

Is there a target release date for this driver?  We are using the 1.2 version at our customer sites, and would like to find a solution to the Logger.getLogger() synchronization problem (see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldataaccess/thread/eaaed323-fbd7-4667-9d77-f3a4bc311a5a/), which is causing performance issues.  We aren't going to give them a CTP driver version, so we need either a production version of 2.0, or a fix to the synchronization problem in 1.2.  Thanks.

Have you a plan of the next CTP, or RTM version that will support SQL 2008 Server? As we encounter troubles wiht date/time.

Will JDBC Driver 2.0  be able to create a connection in an Ipv6 network if "Server name" is given instead of an IPv6 address? Does the driver iterate through multiple Ipv6 address?

yes, you can use IPV6 address to connect with the JDBC driver.

Connecting with IPv6 Addresses

The JDBC driver supports the use of IPv6 addresses with the connection properties collection, and with the serverName connection string property. The initial serverName value, such as jdbc:sqlserver://serverName, is not supported for IPv6 addresses in connection strings. Using a name for serverName instead of a raw IPv6 address will work in every case in the connection. The following examples provide more information.

Does the RTM release still look good for this month?
