Which JDBC drivers should be targeted? [message #6189]

BIRT community,

We are currently looking at which JDBC driver - RDBMs combinations should
be tested for SQL data access from BIRT. There are many different choices
out there, and we are curious what people are using. What do you think are
the most popular JDBC drivers for accessing recent releases of:

MySQL
Cloudscape/Derby
Oracle
MS SQL Server
DB2
Sybase
Informix

Let us know.

Regards,
Mihail Mihaylov

The list of targeted databases didn't show up correctly in my original
posting. Here it's again:
1)MySQL
2)Cloudscape/Derby
3)Oracle
4)MS SQL Server
5)DB2
6)Sybase
7)Informix

What do you think are the most popular JDBC drivers for accessing recent
releases of the above database servers.

Mihail Mihaylov

Oracle, DB2, SQL-Server and you've got more than 75% of professional use.
For a specific list of drivers have a look at
http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/drivers.html

I also like http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for SQL-Server (and apparantly it
also supports Sybase).

Sven Boden

P.S. Oracle very much likes parameter binding, and no hardcoded values.

Hi folks,

1 Sybase
2 Oracle
3 MS SQL Server
4 DB2
5 MySQL

Just my preferences... Sybase support would be really good as that is
lacking in some other reporting tools.

Thanks,

Ric.

One more:

DB2/400 using the JTOpen driver. We use this daily and it's great.
How about OlapJDBC? Just a thought.

You forgot PostgreSQL, Interbase and Firebird.
