Connecting Netbeans 6.5 to MS SQL Express 2005

[Eduardo Kranz]

I'm having problems trying to connect MS SQL Express 2005 to Netbeans 6.5, I have downloaded the JDBC file of Microsoft's website. Going to the normal procedure of connecting a database, Netbeans cannot find the database.

Would you guys know any specific tutorial or other specific issues?

Thanks..

I couldn't really find anything and unfortunately don't have a
possibility to try it myself now. Can you connect to the database
outside of NetBeans? I'm CC'ing David from the DB team in the hope that
he has some insight on this.

What exactly is going wrong?  Can you connect and you can't see the
tables in the Database Explorer?  The standard JDBC driver for MS SQL
Server Express has had some problems, have you tried the JTDS JDBC driver?

See http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.  It works pretty well.
