Get SQLGrinder to work with MSSQL

Make sure SQLGrinder App is not open when you do this.

1. Download the Microsoft JDBC Driver

Go to the Microsoft JDBC Driver download page:

Get It Here

Follow the link at the bottom of the page to download the Unix version of the JDBC driver (.tar.gz file).

2. Extract the downloaded Archive

You can safely extract the downloaded file with StuffIt Expander. The extracted files are in the folder “sqljdbc_1.0″.

3. Install the JDBC Driver

To install the Microsoft JDBC Driver you have to copy the actual driver file (sqljdbc.jar) from the sqljdbc_1.0/enu folder to your Java classpath (/Library/Java/Extensions).

Don’t create sub-directories in /Library/Java/Extensions (like lib/). The .jar file has to be in the /Library/Java/Extensions folder.

4. Open SQLGrinder

You will now have a Drive labeled ‘MS SQL Server 2005′.

You’re done!
