Supported JDBC Driver Versions

Following JDBC driver versions are supported in TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Grid 3.4.2:

    Example JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver://test-localhost:1433;DatabaseName=dbname;trustServerCertificate=true

    When you download the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server (version 11.2.3), the default JAR name is mssql-jdbc-11.2.3.jre8, but when configuring the third-party driver by using TCT, you must rename mssql-jdbc-11.2.3.jre8.jar to mssql-jdbc-11.2.3.jar.
