Hi ,All Does anybody use THINWEB.com JDBC driver( type4) to connect with MS SQL server 7.0? i try to test this driver but failed? Does anyone figure out whats problem with following code: mport java.sql.*; class TestMsql7 { public static void main(String argv[]) { try { String url = "jdbc:twtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.5:1433/pubs;CHARSET=cp950;TDS=4.2"; System.out.println("Attempting to connect.."); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa",""); System.out.println("Connection establised"); // Create statement Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); // Execute query String query = "select * from sales"; // Obtain the result set ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query); System.out.println("JDBC SQL Query : "+query); System.out.println("Results : "); // Loop through each result row while(rs.next()) { // Null point exception // Print out each field as a string System.out.print(rs.getString("qty")); System.out.println(""); } rs.close(); stmt.close(); con.close(); } catch( Exception e ) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } } Run Result: Attempting to connect.. Connection establised JDBC SQL Query : select * from sales Results : null java.lang.NullPointerException at com.thinweb.tds.Tds.b(Unknown Source) at com.thinweb.tds.Tds.a(Unknown Source) at com.thinweb.tds.ResultSet.next(Unknown Source) at TestMsql7.main(TestMsql7.java:25)
