SQL Server Libraries for Java

I'm curious to find what SQL Server libraries are available for Java.

At present开发者_JAVA百科 we are using the com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. I think this was downloaded from the Microsoft site a while ago.

What alternative libraries are available?

Many thanks,

Seconding the open source jTDS Driver. It also works perfectly with Hibernate.

DataDirect is a well known alternative (used by many vendors) but also others such as

• connx
• attunity
• i-net
• Easysoft

JTDS is an open source alternative

NB: I have only used the MS driver, DataDirect and the i-net drivers suceccfully in production, mostly prior to the MS JDBC driver release.
