differences between ms sql microsoft's jdbc drivers and jTDS's driver

Question

What are the differences between each driver? I mean, besides one of them being open-source

What are the pros / cons of each one?

Which one would you recomme

Answer 1

They are distinct implementations. The jTDS driver is a type 4 and in my experience has better performance. I have been using the jTDS driver in a production environment without any issues for 5 years.

I would recommend going with jTDS.
