Unable to connect to Microsoft SQL Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm new to Talend and to Java. Currently running Talend 6.4 and JDK 1.8.0. Attempted to create a connection to Microsoft SQL Server and get the following error:

Connection failure. You must change the Database Settings.
org.talend.utils.exceptions.MissingDriverException: can not find class :net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
missing JDBC driver :
jtds-1.3.1-patch.jar

So, I downloaded: jtds-1.3.1-patch-6.1.1.jar

Java is running at: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151

Talend was launched from: D:\Talend\TOS_DI-20170623_1246-V6.4.1

I don't know where to put the file. I've read some other posts and tried a couple of places, but could not get the connection to work.

Tried:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151\lib
D:\Talend\TOS_DI-20170623_1246-V6.4.1\plugins

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It took a while, but I was able to resolve this on my own. I found the file online and was able to import it using the Talend error box shown in my post above.

Can I kudo myself?
