SQL Server Driver for JDBC

Get the Best-Performing SQL Server Driver for JDBC

To get the best possible performance from data-driven Java applications that access an MS SQL Server back end, you need a high-performance SQL Server driver for JDBC. The right SQL Server driver for JDBC can ensure that your distributed applications achieve their full performance potential. A sluggish driver, by contrast, can bottleneck your entire system and degrade service quality—especially if your applications process large volumes of data or support many users concurrently.

The best performing SQL Server driver for JDBC on the market is Progress DataDirect’s Connect® for JDBC. Propelled by superior design, engineering, and lab testing, Connect drivers for JDBC consistently outperform competing JDBC drivers, regardless of the deployment environment or workload.

Connect for JDBC: Unparalleled Performance and Scalability

Rigorous benchmark testing has demonstrated that Progress DataDirect Connect database drivers deliver:

• Superior data throughput. Connect drivers on average process 20 to 500 percent more work than competing drivers in a given time period. This throughput superiority remains and even increases as more application users are added. Further, Progress DataDirect’s revolutionary JDBC Type 5 design enables a Connect SQL Server driver for JDBC to perform at a consistently high level regardless of the runtime JVM version or the data access framework, unlike conventional JDBC Type 4 drivers that are known for performance inconsistencies.
• Greater CPU efficiency. Despite delivering superior throughput, a Connect driver for JDBC, ODBC, or ADO.Net uses substantially fewer CPU cycles than other drivers on the market. In many cases, a Connect SQL Server driver for JDBC is up to 150 percent more CPU-efficient than competing drivers.
• Smaller memory footprint. Progress DataDirect Connect drivers use memory resources more efficiently than competing drivers, in some instances using as little as 20 percent of the memory used by other drivers.

With its proven superior performance, a Connect SQL Server driver for JDBC will mean faster response times, better scalability, reduced hardware requirements and a lower TCO for your data-driven Java applications.
