databaselink - JDBC-to-ODBC bridge gone. How to connect to SQL Server now in case of Windows Authentication?
Connecting to our corporate SQL servers using JDBC never worked for me, perhaps related to the Windows Authentication method that is necessary in our network. However, I found out that configuring the connection using the ODBC tool on Windows and using the JDBC-to-ODBC bridge together with a configuration in DatabaseExplorer worked for me.
I'm currently moving my stuff to a newer 64 bit VDI (old one was 32 bit) and changing Mathematica version from 10.3 to 11.01 and found that the ODBC route doesn't work for me anymore. I get an error: JDBC::classnotfound sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver.
Some googling learns me that in Java 8 the whole JDBC-to-ODBC bridge was removed and it looks like Mathematica 11 runs on Java 8, so that might explain it.
Anyone got a solution to this problem? JDBC on its own (that is, without the bridge to ODBC) still does not work for me either.
