∟Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server - sqljdbc42.jar

∟Creating Connections with DataSource Class

It is recommended now that connection objects are created by the DataSource implementation class, com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource. Here is a sample program that creates a connection object using the DataSource class without using JNDI services:

/* SqlServerDataSource.java
 - Copyright (c) 2015, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved.
 */
import java.sql.*;
public class SqlServerDataSource {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {

// Setting up the DataSource object
      com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource ds 
        = new com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource();
      ds.setServerName("localhost");
//      ds.setPortNumber(60782);
      ds.setInstanceName("SQLEXPRESS");
      ds.setDatabaseName("AdventureWorks2014");
      ds.setUser("sa");
      ds.setPassword("HerongY@ng");
       
// Getting a connection object
      con = ds.getConnection();
      
// Database and driver info
      DatabaseMetaData meta = con.getMetaData();
      System.out.println("Server name: " 
        + meta.getDatabaseProductName());
      System.out.println("Server version: "
        + meta.getDatabaseProductVersion());
      System.out.println("Driver name: "
        + meta.getDriverName());
      System.out.println("Driver version: "
        + meta.getDriverVersion());
      System.out.println("JDBC major version: "
        + meta.getJDBCMajorVersion());
      System.out.println("JDBC minor version: "
        + meta.getJDBCMinorVersion());
        
// Closing the connection
      con.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

The output confirms that I got a good connection. Remember to include sqljdbc42.jar in the classpath for compilation and execution:

C:\herong>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\javac 
   -cp .;\local\lib\sqljdbc42.jar SqlServerDataSource.java

C:\herong>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java 
   -cp .;\local\lib\sqljdbc42.jar SqlServerDataSource

Server name: Microsoft SQL Server
Server version: 12.00.2000
Driver name: Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.2 for SQL Server
Driver version: 4.2.6225.100
JDBC major version: 4
JDBC minor version: 2

The output also confirms that sqljdbc42.jar supports JDBC API 4.2.
