[SOLVED by IB] SQL Server 2008
Does anybody know Webfocus 716 (OR any version) supports SQL Server 2008?

We are planning to upgrade our database to SQL Server 2008 and want to know whether it is supported by IBI or not (mainly Reportcaster 716).

Anybody using this version of sql server.

NO.

71 thru 767

  
MS SQL Server  2000 (Unicode Optional)  
2005 (Unicode Optional)  


however

quote:

The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver version 1.2 supports connecting to
SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2005, and SQL Server 2000. Earlier Microsoft JDBC
Drivers, such as versions 1.0 and 1.1, can connect to SQL Server 2000 and 2005
versions only. Note that the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver version 1.2
can connect to SQL Server 2008 but does not support the new data types or other
features that are new in SQL Server 2008.


It is not an IBI supported solution. But it should work PROVIDING you take note of
quote:

but does not support the new data types or other
features that are new in SQL Server 2008.
