    | Is there a type 4 JDBC driver for SQL Server 6.5? I see that the latest
    | driver does not support SQL Server 7.0 but appearently you can still use
    it.
    | Is this the same with 6.5?
    |
    | Thank You.

    Hello,

    The Microsoft JDBC driver is for SQL Server 2000 only. If you attempt to
    connect to any prior version, it will fail with the following error message:

    java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]This
    version of the JDBC driver only supports Microsoft SQL Server 2000. You can
    either upgrade to SQL Server 2000 or possibly locate another version of the
    driver.

    When the JDBC driver was pre-RTM, it was possible to connect to older SQL
    Server versions. While that may work, it is an unsupported configuration.
