com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver not found error

Question

I am trying to connect to my SQL Server 2008 database from Java and I\'m having the same problem from this thread.

String userName = \"xxxx\";
String password =          


        

Answer 1

For me, it worked once I changed

Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");

to:

in POM

    com.microsoft.sqlserver
    mssql-jdbc
    6.1.0.jre8

and then:

import com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver;

...

DriverManager.registerDriver(SQLServerDriver());    
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
