It is true that Microsoft has not announced plans to upgrade this driver
beyond the 2.2x version at this time. If you require immediate support of
JDBC 3.0 features, you must look at another driver. The information listed
in the link you provide is also true. The current Microsoft driver is based
on an older code base of the DataDirect driver.

You can get a free trial of the current Data Direct driver which supports
JDBC 3.0 at
