  Hi,

  I am getting the error

  "the server version is not supported. the target server must be sql server 2000 or later."

  I want to test my application is running on SQL Server 2008 or not. So i took latest jdbc 2.0 driver and copied the sqljdbc.jar (428 kb) and tried to connect. It is giving the above error. Help required ASAP.

  Thanks in advance

  Sri

  I use JTDS http://jtds.sourceforge.net with SQL2008 and I have no problem.

  It's not designed or certified yet for SQL2008, but it works.

  Hope this helps
