Answer 1

Hi @tariq mehmood ,

Thank you so much for posting here in Microsoft Q&A.

As mentioned in this article, you could download your SQL Server JDBC driver at least version 4.0.

Then you could use its versions of

• sqljdbc.jar for Java 5, and
• sqljdbc4.jar for Java 6

to access SQL Server 2014.

Since you already have JAVA 15 installed, you could consider to download the latest version of JDBC from here.

Best regards
Melissa
