What Is Sql Server jTDS

jTDS is an open source 100% pure Java (type 4) JDBC 3.0 driver for Microsoft SQL Server (6.5, 7, 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2012) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (10, 11, 12 and 15). jTDS is based on FreeTDS and is currently the fastest production-ready JDBC driver for SQL Server and Sybase ASE.

What is the difference between JTDS and JDBC?

One relevant difference is, that the JDBC 4.0 Implementation of the JTDS-Driver (v1. 3.1) requires at least Java 7, whereas the JDBC 4.0 Implementation of the Microsoft driver is available in Java 6. This is important if you want to use Hibernate 4.3 (relying on JDBC 4.0 API) and support Java 6.

Where do I put JTDS jar?

Install the driver Copy the jtds-x.x.x.jar file to the bin/ext directory of your ReadyAPI installation. You always need to restart ReadyAPI after installing . jar files.
