The Microsoft JDBC Driver now supports JRE 7

  • Article

Greetings Developer Community, 

 

The Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server now supports JRE 7.  If you have applications running against JRE 6 (or 5) and roll them forward to execute against JRE7, the Microsoft JDBC driver is now fully supported. 

It's important to note that:

  • This is valid only for the latest Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server;
  • This change requires no driver refresh, which means that if you already have the Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server deployed, you are good to go;
  • The driver does not support the JDK 7, which means that, if you recompile your application against Java7, you will experience compilation errors.  This announcement is only for runtime execution.

Thanks
