Connecting to SQL server 2008 from XI 3.0 ( SP23 )- will it work ?

37 Views

Hi

We are on XI 3.0 ( SP23 , JDK version 1.3.1 ) and we are connecting to SQL 2005 currently for a few critical scenarios that we have.

The sql server 2005 is moving to a sql 2008 version.

My questions are -

1) Main question - Can we import and use the sql server 2008 jdbc drivers into our current XI 3.0 platform and will it be compatible and work with SQL 2008 server ( given our current XI JDK version - 1.3.1 )

2) We have some scenarios that still run on sql server 2008 and still need to connect to these from XI 3.0 . Can we have two different versions of jdbc drivers sitting on the same XI servers and refer to them in the different communication channel definitions ?

Any similar experiences that can be shared is appreciated.
